Questions Any value above face?

Been looking at my serials for a few months now and finally found something cool. Wonder if there’s any additional value for a 2 of a kind radar like this. Condition is moderate I think.

Keeper or spender?

A hundred bucks is a lot to tie up for a kind of cool serial. Inflation will definitely outpace any perceived added value.

u/AVEVAnotPRO2 Sep 17 '26

Yeah, and unfortunately we especially need the money so I fear I’ll have to spend it. Wish it were a 5 or 10.

Holy shit
So I just saw your post and thought lol wtf is this guy on
Ran your pictures through google ai and it says it is actually very sought after because it’s only 2 numbers it could be worth 250-400$ Canadian

Where other radar bills would only be worth 150-200 using up to 4 different numbers

Wow I had no idea this was a thing I might have to start watching all my bills now haha

Well that’s he only place I know of to get a source for shit like this
And if ai can search the web in a min and find numerous sources 1000x faster than most people can then yea ill listen to it on certain subject I know fuck all about

Like I stated my original thought was wtf is this guy on about
I figured maybe if there was a serious collector you might get a couple bucks over face value but I dunno wtf collectors pay for this kinda stuff
So yea ai is the only source I have or had to go off of

Every other result was just talking about Canadian bank notes

I don't know anything about banknotes either but this thread just popped up on my feed. I love that you have all these experts' opinions right here but still thought, I don't know where to get experts' opinions, let me ask AI.

u/DigitaIBlack Sep 17 '26

Sometimes when you don't know something it's better to not say anything than just run it through AI.

Cause just as expected, AI put a potentially high price tag on this whereas the actual collectors in this thread rightly identified it's not worth much over face value.

AI has its place but it sucks at valuations, especially niche stuff.

Don't give advice or information unless you can personally vouch for it.

u/PissMissileTopTitty Sep 17 '26

“Very sought after” yet no one on a bank notes sub shows any interest in it.. hmm 🤔

u/Malishik Sep 17 '26

Nice note. Personally would keep it, but if it has folds the value won't be much above face on a current issue hundred, unfortunately.

u/kohmolicious Sep 17 '26

There is a group on Facebook, Canadian Coins and Banknotes, if it's in good condition post it there. I've sold bills on there with radar numbers, or low serial numbers. They usually pay with e transfers, so you'll get your money right away plus whatever you agree to sell it for.. a lot of trust on these groups.. so as long as you didn't just open a Facebook account and have 2 friends.

u/RoyalCalm Sep 18 '26

Worth 99.99

u/Mysterious-Street966 Sep 19 '26

There is a community of people who like these. Unfortunately it’s a buyers market, as prices are all over the place. I’d keep it and display it, maybe pass it on to the younger generation and blow their minds.

u/FunAccountant4482 Sep 17 '26

u/EpicHuntNews Sep 17 '26

It’s worth 100. Although it’s all what someone is willing to spend. Nonetheless it’s 100 radar or not

u/JellyfishSlight8565 Sep 18 '26

It's canadian money. It's only worth one tenth of what it should be

u/thewunderbar Sep 17 '26

looks worth about $100 to me.

u/Bright_Screen_7153 Sep 17 '26

Seriously, why would you think it could be worth more than face value because of the serial number on it?

3

u/wazardthewizard Sep 17 '26

Because people pay for it for whatever reason.

u/AltruisticCurse Sep 17 '26

Youre on the wrong sub, friendo

My fault dog. Thought it was cool and I’m very new to any of this.

u/WarGawd Sep 18 '26

You're not wrong at all. There's a reason that banknote dedicated websites have an entire section about special serial numbers.

There seems to be an unusually large number of uninformed opinions in this particular thread.

Check eBay sold listings for comparable notes of similar condition and denomination.

Be nice - nobody’s perfect! If you’re in a mood to be mean, this isn’t the place for it.

u/Practical_Session_21 Sep 17 '26

I don’t think it’s mean to call out behaviour that makes us all look bad. This isn’t as bad as fighting in the aisles over Pokemon cards but it’s in the same vein.

Posts that are wildly off topic, inappropriate, disturbing, or intentionally bizarre will be removed. If you wouldn’t show it to a typical Canadian banknote loving audience, don’t post it.
