My first RADAR APB9246429 went and got a brick of 5's and pulled out this radar probably nothing special, but man im pumped
and well, I thought you guys might like to see this. PAPA, the first coins he ever gave me was a 1967 proof set. He sparked my ambition for collectin.. God Bless Him
Hey Snaz - something I just played with on photobucket today was editing the image. At the time of the image there is a edit at the top of the picture. You click on it, then click on resize - I picked something like 640x480. Then answered yes to resize the image. The pictures then fit into the post better - see this post here- learning as I go. I am thinking about all those poor individuals who still use the old dial-up. The big pictures do not bother me and my cable modem.
Is the six acceptable because of the extra digits Canadian v US? I thought mirrors had to be even back and forth
So, how many notes are in a Canadian Brick. If it's a thousand, then that would mean that there is 1 radar in every brick. versus 1 radar per 11 bricks in the US.
no, there are 100 bills per brick... at least the brick i bought .. maybe she strapped it in the back to the amount I wanted, who knows.. i asked for 500$ worth..
Arithmetic: With U.S.-style eight-digit serials, a radar comes up once in every 10,000 notes on average. I'm not sure where you got the 11,000 figure.... Terminology: The Fed says a "strap" is 100 notes, a "bundle" is 1000 notes, and a "brick" is 4000 notes. In the old days, intact 4000-note bricks made it out into the banking system, wrapped in brown paper and bound with steel bands. I haven't seen anything above a 1000-note bundle reaching the market in years, though (which is probably why many collectors now use "brick" to refer to the 1000-note packages). There *was* a news story from Iraq a few years ago that pictured a whole 640,000-note forklift pallet of $100's; it's amazing how much space $64 million takes up!
Numbers, I never knew that about "Bricks". I've always heard the tellers call a bundle a brick. But I've also heard a lot of misinformation from tellers too and now take what they tell me with a grain of salt. I got the 11 bundles from this logic. To have a radar, you need the center two numbers to match. XXX00XXX XXX11XXX XXX22XXX XXX33XXX XXX44XXX XXX55XXX etc..... each of those numbers is separated by 11,000 notes. If you order a random bundle, you have a 10% chance that it will contain a radar number. So now that I think it through, 10 consecutive bundles would guarantee 1 radar note. Again, thanks for the correction.
it makes sense even with your description gatzdon that only 10,000 is needed. if you start with xxx1xxxx and have the next 10,000, then xxx11xxx will be in that run, up to xxx2xxxx. and the same applies to the other examples as well. I never sat to think about it as i dont buy radars and the like, i only look for them in circulation, but i never thought radars were as common as 1 in 10,000!
And just in case anyone is still confused by this: the problem, of course, is that the pattern breaks after 9. Between 00099000 and 00100100, there are only 1,100 serials, not 11,000. Averaged out over the whole block, the radars are 10,000 serials apart, though they're spaced rather irregularly.
