A word to the wise...

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

As you all know, the new $50 is only hours away, and for all of ye prefix collectors out there, a word to the wise is in order:

1. Ontario will probably get first shot at the new note on its release date.  Outlying regions will probably get them later on eventually.

2. Ask your friendly teller if they have them in, or when they will indeed have them available.

3. Don't get restless tomorrow night.  You will get the new notes eventually.

4. Tomorrow, try to get some of the "old" $50's in crisp condition, as they will be collectors' items down the road.   (See if you can get some 1975 $50's too! )

I wish all collectors the best of luck on their quest for the new $50 notes.

If you get any, please give us your feedback.  We welcome your opinions.

Okay......

New question:

With the very recent aftermath of the snow storm in Nova Scotia, will Nova Scotia get their shipments of the new $50's later, as flights have been halted due to the bad weather and power outages?  (Not that it matters to me since I live in Newfoundland and we here in St. J's have not been affected.)

I doubt anyone here can answer that.  It is something that Brinks and other organizations need to deal with.

You've made a good point, Brent.  However, whatever Brinks and its relatives does is not really any of our concern .  We will get our fifties sooner or later, eventually.

As for the blackout in Nova Scotia, I heard that power may be restored to some of its customers possibly tonight or the next day.

Good luck on your quest for the "big reds".

Later!

Somehow I think Nova Scotians are more concerned with getting the power back, than $50 bills.

Zero new $50s in Saskatoon!!  Will try Friday (the day cash orders are in for most of my contacts)

They aren't released until tomorrow.  Maybe, where you might be a bank employee, you thought that some banks in mainland Canada have their shipments of the new notes in their bank vaults awaiting release.

I betcha that a lot of Nova Scotians (and many Canadians) don't even know that there is a new $50 bill coming.
