A Trinary Disney Dollar

A very nice Disney Dollar from 1987 and it’s a trinary note at that. Please feel free to post your Disney Dollars.

Nice.
Can you please explain the importance of the note being a Trinary for the less experienced collectors ?

 

It’s sort of a gimmicky designation that sells for more on eBay.

 

I know this, and you know this, but I was hoping to hear what @Collecting Nut thought the importance was.

 

Sure, first it was a joke for another member in another thread. Secondly, a trinary is the same three numbers used in any order. This Disney note is a trinary as it only has three numbers, zeros, nines and a six. In reality, to me at least and to a number of other collectors, a trinary is not worth any extra premium over face value.

It’s something someone, maybe a dealer, came up with to promote them and get a little extra income. Personally, I wouldn’t pay one cent extra for one. Binary notes, yes, as they are only 2 numbers and they are repeated for all 8 digits. Hope this helps.

 

Here’s an example. These are all Radar Notes as the serial number reads the same backwards as it does forwards, the same way the word RADAR reads.
This one is a trinary note. It only contains 3 numbers, zeros, fours and ones.

Just a Radar note as 4 or more. Umbers are used.

The same, just a radar note.

The Radar notes are worth a small premium but the trinary Radar note should only bring a premium for being a Radar note, not for being a trinary note.

 

Very, very simply put. People like labels.

One day some creative marketer decided their note with three unique digits labeled as trinary would appeal to more buyers. The rest is history.

Edit: NAV IMO

 

Really ?

The term Trinary means absolutely zero to experienced paper money collectors, and for the sake of all the newbies, I wish the experienced members would quit using it in a way that gives it importance. A Trinary is a nothing burger.

 

And that’s what I said. You just didn’t read my entire post.

 

You even featured the word in your thread title, giving it importance.

 

Doesn’t anyone else have Disney Dollars?

 

I've got a few 'nothing burgers'

 

I have so many….LOL

 

Oh, it's a special trinary at that, where each digit is an integer multiple of 3!

 

Someone finally got it. It is a neat note to have and it’s my only Disney Dollar.

 

The above note cost me $20, sent it to PMG top pop 1 of 1 now worth $$$$
