News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Hi there,

Please provide a image of your $2 banknotes with the BC prefix as the Charlton Catalogue does provide information on the serial numbers for this prefix.

Best regards, Whitenite

Hi there,

This is amazing find, I would not take these back to the bank.  No doubt, if you consign these banknotes to a reputable dealer, you could realize from $12000 to $15000.  The problem is that people, just like collectors, are short of cash these days due to high cost of living.  If you can sit on these, the returns will get better year after year.

My thoughts, Whitenite

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and I would like your opinion on the value of theses bills. I have inherited of theses bills from my mother and they were stored in a safe at the bank.


#BC-60D (I think)
Serial Number : BJS6464100 to BJS6464199
Grade : UNC (from what i think)
1988 Knight-Dodge

Thanks a lot,

Michael

Wow!  This is an amazing bundle!
You might consider consigning it to an auction because there are collectors out there who would be interested in the entire bundle.
Whatever you do, please don't return these bills to the bank!  They should be saved.

Hi,
It's a good bundle!This is hard to find a bundle of 100$.Do you take a look inside the bundle,if you have a differente prefix it should be a replacement(insert).The only bad things it's a bundle of regular prefix,no radar and it's a 100$ they not have a lot of poeple who collect a high denomination.If you can not sell the bundle in one time maybe sell some separatly.

The latest Charlton Catalogue that I have in my possession states $140 in Unc.  However, you'd be hard pressed to find any collector willing to pay that or even any premium at all, even-less-so for a whole bundle.  Even acquired at face value, I don't know of too many collectors who would be willing to eat the yearly depreciation to hold on to it.

Modern note collectors are usually looking for specific serial ranges or other anomalies.  The high denomination mostly kills any interest for run-of-the-mill notes like these.  That being said, it's an exciting find as you don't see full bundles of birds $100s very often anymore!

Hi Dean,
It's about the 50$ GMP,today when I change my 1000x10$ to 50$ I found 2xGMP 0913348 and a new high # 1908061.The things I think about that it's maybe the same like the 10$?About 4 years I take 1000x10$ to change it to 50$ every weeks,and I never found in 10$ the prefix FFN until 3 weeks ago,two notes but someone told me at Toronto they have this prefix in circulation.I think it will be the same for the 50$ they maybe start to be in circulation??A other collector I know near of Quebec have found some GMP.About the FFJ for now I never foud a serial # under 6 million and over 9 million??
The futur will be explain that???

I'd say they'll be legislated back to work by February at the latest.  The rural economy will be impacted greatly, and action will be needed.

Canada Post seems to be racing against the clock when it comes to getting a deal reached. Not only for the holiday season, but for the life of the company.  They made tiny movement in the talks recently, but that's normal early in a strike.  If the mediator keeps facilitating the talks, they may be able to save the holiday season, otherwise they may end up getting a deal reached when the low-demand period starts in January.

Unions tend to pick a peak period for going on strike.  If that tactic fails, they end up settling early in a period when demand would start to decline.  Happens in most strikes - especially transit strikes (which are usually settled by early February - when ridership is low, as hardly anyone wants to stand at a bus stop in bitter cold temperatures), and the 2023 Federal Public Service strike in which they chose tax season - the peak period - to walk off the job, and that deal was reached after that peak period ended.

Canada Post is under panic mode now, and they are fearing for the company's life.  They were on track of depleting their operating capital by early 2025 (and the strike might cause them to deplete their operating capital much sooner).

I think, when the strike is settled, they will likely settle on a 16 or 17% pay hike over four years, but in order to pay the workers that much money jobs will have to be cut.  I wouldn't be shocked if any job cuts happen, it will probably be announced in next year's federal budget - and the job cuts will be in the form of closing down post offices (and selling them) and consolidating them into bigger post offices, and even setting up postal centres inside convenience stores, additional drug stores, and even supermarkets.  I wouldn't be shocked if postal outlets may end up being set up in Loblaws-owned supermarkets.

As far as I know, talks haven't broken off - otherwise I would have noticed by now.

Was reading the news on my lunch break and I find that rural area are being affected a lot as Canada Post is the only postal company delivering there and even Ottawa Food Bank is getting affected by it. If the strike continues for a long time, my guess is the government may have to intervene and force them back to work like the CP Rail worker strike
