[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 8482601, member: 74863"]What is a radar note? The term radar as it applies to US currency implies the sequence of the serial number.

Radar notes are considered scarce because of the method in which tellers get cash from the federal reserve banks. Mathematical odds of finding one of these is roughly 1 out of every 12,000 notes printed. I posted this one yesterday.
