April 1st finds:

Lots of coins…

One of my banks called me today.  The teller said that she had a bag of pennies so I went to pick them up.  When I got there, the teller offered me two boxes of dimes.  Let’s hope that something good is in these boxes!

Enjoy!

March 30th Easter weekend coin hunting finds:

I searched through three boxes of dimes over the last couple of days and found…


69 US
2x UK 5 pence
1/2 Franc from Switzerland
10c from Bermuda
2017 commemoratives,
2021 Bluenose under sail
21 x 1968 nickel alloy dimes
And…one silver dime dated 1953!


I returned the three boxes of coins to one branch and went to a different branch to ask for old paper money.  While they had no paper, this branch did give me one more box of dimes.  Let’s see if there’s something good inside!

This birds $100 has a message written on it.  I have no idea what it says…

March 28th finds:

I managed to pick up a few paper notes from my bank today.  While I was there, I got three boxes of dimes and some regular spending cash.  To my surprise, I got a nice $20 repeater out of the bank machine.

Enjoy!

They make errors like this all the time.  Even when I give them all the info in a spreadsheet they still manage to make all kinds of mistakes.  I have some Chartered Bank notes that were supposedly issued in 1990!  You should be able to get it reslabbed for free although you'll probably have to pay for shipping and insurance.

Yes, they will fix it but you have to "pay the piper" in getting it there & back. If you lived in the US it would be slightly easier/cheaper. I got a few errors on my bulk batch (50) too (& they will remain like that).  Just P coding so not as a big deal. They must have some primitive software where the certifier needs to check the correct boxes (& he/she checked the wrong 1) for such an error to be printed like that.

Check out the error on this one. Should be BC-48a Bouey Rasminsky signatures. They got the serial number right though 

I think I see what you mean. Interesting.

I see it on one of mine but not the other. I have no idea what it is. Here's a pic:
