    Looks like you got one, good job! I always check but never been so lucky



    Radar numbers are those banknotes that are numeric anagrams; the banknote reads the same backwards as it does forward.

    EG: $5. AA01 168 861, AA01 942 249. First Prefix and Radar Numbered.

    JD01 790 097, JD01 671 176. Last Prefix and Radar Numbered.

    Radar numbered banknotes are highly collectable and affordable at this time, there is a higher possibility of collecting radar notes as opposed to solid numbers, due to the equation of printing runs to complete sequential runs of banknotes up to 999999 within a pre determined prefix range, based on probability radar numbers will exceed solid numbers in the printing process by a well defined high ratio of up to 55:1 in some instances.

    Prices for Radar banknotes as single banknotes or in runs of up to 5 banknotes will depend on the vendors asking price, and your ability to negotiate a price that fits into your financial budget.
    There are no guidelines for the pricing of radar banknotes. Research throughout the internet will assist you in determining a fair price.

    well, i think i'd get in a little trouble if i changed the 0 into a 1 to make it a $51 note

    I dont know anything about pricing them. Wonder if it having so many of one number would effect the price?

    I know nothing about this, but from what I just read shouldn't it read 05 555 550 to be a radar?

    There ya go hey, however I have always looked at them as complete, not using the year of manufacture as a base and then using the balance of numbers as the radar.

    If people are happy to collect this, then cool looks like you have one. It is an area I don't bother with, yet finding one is always a win.

    Is someone willing to pay extra ? That is the question.

    Not a radar!

    Radar is complete number and not the digits one chooses to use.

    Not even close.

    McDonalds states that for polymer 8 didgit series = AA99688699, ED98600689 etc.

    So, now I have another thing to obsess about.

    It was bad enough checking coins like an 'anorak' now I'm going to go OCD on bank notes :p
