good quality radars

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Hi.  I'm completely new to this, so please...be gentle.  Someone filled me in on radars the other day, and since then, I've found a few.  I get new bills at my job, all in sequence, and in great condition.  I'm just trying to find out more about who collects them and stuff like that.  As well, I am keeping my eye out for inserts.  I sold a couple to the guy who first told me about them, but I think I'll just keep them from now on and sell them to collectors who are interested, so if anyone is looking for good quality radars, let me know.    

Oh, and if there is anything else that I should be looking out for, please let me know.  If 2-digit or 1-digit notes are at all valuable, I will keep them as well.  Like I said, I'm pretty new at this...

You had better keep those 1 and 2 digit radars because you could probably feed your family for a month if you sold a one digit radar. 2 digit radars are still rare as well. If I remember correctly, there are 9 1 digit radars and 99 2 digit radars for every prefix of 9 999 999 notes.

What would be an example of a one digit radar and a two digit radar so I can keep my eyes wide open for them? Thanks for the insight in advance!

A radar is a number that reads the same forwards or backwards a solid radar (one number) would be all the same number 1111111, 6666666, 8888888.

Two digit would be 3131313,2252522 or 6663666

Three digit 2251522, 7199917

 Hope this helps.

Thanks Gary that helps.

I like RADAR notes. Would gladly purchase a few if they were made available. Even the lowly 4 digit variety too.
i.e.
1234321

I'm looking for a set of twenties myself 8866688 and 8867688 to complete a matched set of fives and tens.

Mucho Gracias mon

I'll be keeping my eyes open for anything that passes through!
Thanks everyone....

True that there is 9 solid radars in a 10 million notes (the #0000000 is normally taken out and destroyed), but there is no 99, but 630  2-digits radars, 4320  3-digits radars and 5040  4-digits radars in the same run, for a total of 9999 radars per 10 million notes.
