    the other week i found a one dollar bill with the serial number:
    44141442

    :(

    so it was pretty much a 7-digit radar number.

    I didnt keep it - still waiting for a real one.

    please educate us to what a "radar" bill is with a brief synopsis.
    thanks in advance

    A "Radar" bill has a serial number that reads the same, forwards and backwards, i.e., 12344321, 98766789. If the letters at each end also match, i.e., A12344321A, it is even more rare.

    I had a crusty old 5 at work on Saturday night... I kept it untill close... I decided to 'deposit' it :)
    It was 14141114... A nice number if you ask me ;-)

    Por Qué? (Why?)

    Was it the old style (1995 and before) or the new style (1999 and newer)?

    mostly because it wasnt a true radar bill.
    it was cool and all, but i thought, eh, I'll wait till next time.

    If a true radar, yes, it can be valuable.

    It was a 1999 five, I believe.

    I always check my bills when I go to the atm or receive change for stars and serial numbers.
    last week I got a $20 radar note, at first all the 6's freaked me out but I thought it was cool anyway.

    61666616

    I went to www.coolnumbers.com it ranked it real high

    I went to the site and typed in a radar number and it told me that only 0.01of all 8 digit numbers are pallindromes.That's 1/10 of one percent!
    On the other hand,my social security number was rated way uncool!
