I think this question has been beaten to death...do a search on this site and you will find the answers you are looking for....and probably won't like them :'(

1 brick = 4 bundles
1 bundle = 10 straps
1 strap = 100 notes

4000 notes is kinda hard to get... and believe me... I've tried!

If you have a good relationship with your bank, you may be able to get a strap or two per week...

Personally I have tried to develop a good relationship with 3-4 banks and try to get a strap from each every fortnight.

Actually unless things have changed...

1 bundle=100 notes
10 bundles=brick
4 bricks=super block

I have never heard of a block or super block... course I'm also very new to this hobby and the only place I had ever found information about this was on the U.S. BEP web site. Interesting how there is two terminologies to describe the exact same thing. Man I love learning!!

I learned something new as well. I wasn't aware of the US terminolgy.  :)

Hi,

I can tell you, it's not easy like they said.

However, if you are with RBC (other banks probably do this also), you'll need a special command and there's fees.

I know DesJardins you can call directly at the branch and you just ask.

You have to specify new notes, if not you'll probably get old stuff.
