    Nice bill! Pity it isn't CHCU, but I'd keep it for only $20 all the same! :hail:

    Nice note. Great serial number. Would certainly be a keeper for me.

    Very nice find mark, wish I could find just one!

    Now the medication has kicked in and my brain's going walkabout...

    Does anyone have a note that is symetrical, that is the same backwards and forwards and the same upside down? One could only use the numbers 0 and 8 (it would be nice to include 1 but there is a slight difference when it's upside down). An OHHO note?

    And...does anyone have or ever come across one that is not a radar but the same when upside down? Now you have 0, 8, 6 and 9 to play with eg.98069086 and what would that be called? Perhaps a pood? A doop I suppose is more appropriate but I prefer the first.

    Interesting concept and never really thougth about that - radars are hard enough. I have never really looked for one. My Other radar comes close - 86833868. So replace the 3's with 6's or 8's and you would have one. :)

    Technically it's called an "ambigram", but that's less illustrative. :rolleyes:

    I've got a note with serial 61069019; but as you said, with the 1's in the mix, this one only counts if you squint.

    It isn't the same upside down....the 6's switch to 9's.

    To be a rotator (SWIMS) it would have to appear as such:

    I believe the only true radar/rotators that are the same forwards/backwards and upside down are the ones that only contain 8's and 0's in the correct positions.
