I have some good news, and some bad news....
The bad news:
Earlier this morning, about ten o'clock NDT, I called the main branch of Scotiabank in St. John's, NL asking if they did have them, and she said yes.

But...
When I came down to the Scotiabank, the friendly teller told me that they never got their shipment in as yet.
![Shocked :o](./Smileys/LightB/shocked.gif)
She did tell me that that branch had only received one new $20 yesterday. It was already gone. I was almost disappointed

The good news...
I went to the main RBC branch in the same area afterwards, and I asked the receptionist if they did have the new $20's. She said YES.
So, I stood in line, and as the teller served me, I asked her to exchange some of my "out of style" old $20's for the new ones. She went to the central teller and low and behold, SHE HAD THEM! Just imagine - my first Journey $20! Hooray!
By the way, the prefix I have received on them were AYS's (please see my posting in Highs & Lows section).
Most of the RBC customers were still receiving the old $20's as the secured cash dispenser on site never had the new $20's in the machine. The receptionist said that the ATM's had the new notes as well, but I do not rely on a bank card. The only way RBC customers could get the new $20's right now, is upon request.
The moral of the story is:
"Good Things Come To Those Who Wait, especially when it comes to Newfoundlanders getting the new notes."

I should keep that in mind for when the new $50 is released...
Later, Jonathan
