I entered only 2 FZZ into the database but had a couple hundred.  Since the database does not like runs only the first and last note were entered.

Does anybody have any other contact info for the CPMS? I payed for membership and received my membership number and was then asked to contact the webmaster to get a password. That email keeps bouncing back saying it's undeliverable. I have tried info@cpmsonline.ca and also responding to the email that was sent with my membership number but no response to those either.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here's a screenshot of the Lane Macklem $20 SNDB data.  So far, nobody has reported the FZT Lane Macklem change over.  In fact, only 55 Lane Macklem $20 have been reported on the SNDB as of today. This data is limited however b/c runs of notes could have been found but only 2 notes will be counted by the database.

AZ sums it up well: tough to say whether the Lane FZT high change-over will be tough but it will likely be a challenge to source on in UNC due to the way they've been released in the past.

Got it. Thanks.

Thanks. But the database doesn't show if Lane/Macklem FZT is rare. Anyone knows?

So far very few Lane-Macklem $20 notes of any prefix have been seen in circulation, but we will see many of them eventually. The FZT changeover is at 8 million so only 2 million first prefix FZT Lane-Macklem notes will be issued. They will not be rare by all means, but finding uncirculated notes will be very hard, because (1) $20 is the most common denomination and a lot of prefixes are printed each time, and (2) Prefixes are released in no particular order.

The FZT series was a turn-over prefix - meaning there was change of signature at sometime during the issue.  Therefore, the prefix FZT itself is not rare, but there were less printed with the same signature combinations on them, making two 'short-runs'.  Have a look at the Serial Number Database and look up the prefix $20 FZT and the signature combinations.

Stopped in at 3 branches today and I think the banknote 'gods' are on holiday this weekend. I got one new HCF high note, a whereswilly.com note ,and I'm sure the gods meant this other 'defaced' note for Dean ... !!! 

Hi,

Are Prefix FZT Polymer Frontiers Series $20 bills hard to find?
