Radar $20 - Pretty cool?!

Still very new to paying attention to currency, as a coin guy since the 70's.
I read that palindromic serials are about 1 out of 100,000 bills.

    It’s always fun finding a Radar note in the wild, thanks for sharing.
    Here’s a chart showing the potential frequency.

    So about 1 in 10,000 notes...I was only off by one zero :p
    Thanks for the resource!

    Nice 3 digit radar! Canadian 3 & 4 digit radars are 1 in 1000 & it can take me years to find one. A 2 digit radar (like 9990999) & solid (9999999) both have greater odds of finding 1 (which I cannot remember). I have snagged both but that is partly b/c I have recycled tons of cash at banks (like "luckyrollers") at one time & used cash whenever I could. I can't imagine finding a radar which has 1 in 10,000 like in the US! I'd keep it even though its a bit battered.
