The mirror of $\ \ 25 \ \$ is $\ \ 52 \ \$ but the $\ \ 52nd \ \$ prime is not $\ \ 101$ ???

I would guess that there are further interesting primes and that they are palindromic. After all, one can easily get "close": 191 is palindromic, but is the 43rd prime, where 43 isn't palindromic (but 44 is).

I don't know what is meant with these palindromes... That's why I skipped them. Perhaps the position number has to be also a palindrome: like, if 101 was 22nd prime. However, no such cases with 3digit primes. There are 15 of those critters: 101,131,151,181,191,313,353, 373,383,727,757,787,797,919,929 A plus tard Monsieur L'Agent!
