This note was found by somebody in an ATM. This person showed it to a dealer (which I know very well) and he let me taking this photo.
It's the most dramatic cutting error I saw and I even never saw anything close to that. I'm wondering if it is still a 20$ note? :)
Here the photo of the face. :o :o :o
Judge by your-self.
I reduced the size of the images to fit on the screen better and brightened the images. Hope you don't mind. - PBW

Here the photo of the back.

Wow! Have you considered taking some better-quality scans and submitting them to the Online Canadian Paper Money Museum? ;D Something like that is mind-blowing and would really capture the interest of visitors to the site.

This is really interresting because it shows 2 serial numbers (part of a sheet) so I use Brent tools (http://www.bwjm.ca/tools_drawsheet.asp) to see what part of the sheet it came from. Well it seems that CBN are printing 40/on, 5x8, 500 skip like the BABN because when I enter the number in the CBN (40/on, 4x10, 500 skip) option the numbering isn't right. Something to think about... ;)

They are printed 45/on.

Given the prefix (EYB), I would expect that Bob is correct in that the notes are printed 45/on. But, I don't really know enough yet about the layouts (the CPMS newsletter articles are a little confusing) to include them in my tools.
I'm glad someone has found them and is using them. That makes my day. :D

Oops! It's the new Journey $20's that are printed in sheets of 45, not these late Birds $20's. An article to be published in the next CPMS Newsletter explains that this particular group of notes was printed in sheets of 40 but with a non-standard layout, which will also be forthcoming. And, yes, it's 5x8 like the BABN sheets.

This note has been sold to a collector (that I know) and about sending a scan of this note, I must first ask him to borrow it and I want to have his permission to put in the virtual museum (maybe he would wish to do to it himself). I keep you on about this.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to your response. Please feel free to email me directly or use PMs here on the forums to continue this conversation. ;)

It's done! I had the permission from my friend and took a much better photo of the note.
I submitted it to Brent's site. You can now see it in the Online Museum and enjoy! :)
