    I never even heard of them until a couple of weeks ago, but I now I check all my notes. That is too cool way to go.

    That's a good find and a nice way to start a RADAR note collection. Enjoy it.

    Dajjarjon, I am so jealous of your 2 & 3 digit serial number notes!
    They make my 5 digit * look like wrinkled spending money.

    Nice note and congrats on the find! personally I am making myself cross-eyed reading all the serial #s and have only found one so far. Without doing the math myself - (hate it, won't do it unless I have to) does anyone know how many radars are in each series? I cannot even imagine all the possible combos but if anyone has the info I would be interested to know the #'s.

    each series? no... that i wills ave for one of those days you want to do math :)

    but an easy answer is 1 in every 10,000 notes is a radar. Search for the term radar and look at posts by a member named Numbers - he did 1 heck of a post explaining radars and their frequency! it is well worth a read.

    as an easy answer to your question on how many in a series... just add up the totals and divide by 10,000 :) that should give you a nice approximate number of radars. It might well surprise you just how many radar notes there are floating around (hint: banknote magazines routinely sell them for $10)

    thanks! If i remember right - both notes were obtained off members on this very forum :)

    and no worrites about your 5 digit note... i keep most any note with 3 or more leading zeros.... im not sure why as they arent worth anything... i just LOVE seeing all them zero's lol and i rarely encounter a note with more then 3 0's!
