So in a previous post someone suggested that I go see "Al" at provincial coin and stamp in winnipeg..... and I must thank the person because it was a treat to meet such a nice guy. He didn't have much that I would be interested in purchasing but he did show me some really neat notes...
Anyways one of the notes he showed me... I think he called it a mirror or flip note... where the serial numbers are read the same right side up and upside down...
So I guess as a newbie I'm now looking at the serial numbers of all my notes... and I go to the ATM at costco today and low and behold I get a run of 2 (neat-0) FIA 4878900 & 901...
But then another note took my attention ERU 2167912... and thought.. well when I flip this over it reads the same.. Once again I thought it was a neat thing.. but thought I would put it out here and get your thoughts.. is this a "mirror" note?

I believe you meant Rotator Notes. Check out this post.

From your description it sounds like you are talking about a rotator note. A rotator note reads the same when flipped upside down and they can only contain the numbers 0, 6, 8 or 9. The center number (the fourth number in the serial number) can only be a 0 or 8.
Some examples would be:
0690690
0860980
0008000
8080808
