This is a mathematical question. Assuming all is based on statistics, what are the chances that a bill is a radar (ie 1 out of x are radar bills)... I'm not sure how to come up with an equation that would solve that. I'm curious because after searching hundreds of dollars, I finally found one!!! (2003A L 45599554 D)
one in one thousand. Each brick has its own four beginning numbers. One of the bills in that brick of 1000 will have the opposite ending four.
in that light, would it not be one in 10,000? because it would take 10,000 bills to change the first four numbers? 12340000 - 12349999 (radar is 12344321)
so i guess the true question is now appearant... not "what are the odds of finding a radar bill"... rather "What are the odds of having $10,000?" and the time to go through them all
Another Member turned me on to this website. It's fun checking Serial Numbers www.coolnumbers.com I just went there and put a bill I had found in the gallery. Rated a 95.8. 60024008
I've used that site for a while. It says that the odds of finding a radar are one in one hundred (0.010%) but I'm pretty sure thats wrong.
I agree that one in 10,000 is correct. For each of the first four digits, there is a 1/10 chance its mirror digit matches. Thus (1/10)^4 = 1/10,000.
Actually, if it says .01% that's correct. At least 1/100 of 1 percent was 1/10,000 of unity when I took 4th grade math, before "New Math" came along. .
