(Why are the 2003 dated BER $10s so much more valuable if there were 7.2 million printed versus only 1.4 million of the 2004 dated notes?)Much of the 7.2M BER 2003 notes were never released into circulation while the 2004 BER which saw only 1.4M were fully circulated. If you find a 2003 hang onto it!! They are very hard to find.

Happy 30th! I will keep an eye out for you.
Still Looking (forever looking).
March 12th finds, part 2:
I went to a second branch just down the road from the first one and I went in and asked the teller for old notes and coins. The teller obliged with $42.50 in nickel dollars and 50c coins. She went to the cash cage and let me look through the paper money in the mutilated pile. There wasn’t much, but I chose a birds $5…the teller then said “oh, there’s a $1000 bill. Do you want it?”
Of course, I took it! Boy, am I glad that I have unlimited transactions on my bank accounts!
Enjoy!

March 12th finds, part 1:
I decided to go to a different area of the city to prospect for notes and coins…And it paid off!
The first bank I visited was hesitant to give anything up at first, giving me the stock line “We send all mutilated bills out as soon as we get them”. I explained why I do this in greater detail to the teller and after further conversation, she went to the cash office and retrieved a small bunch of paper money for me. I took it all, since this was the first time I had received anything from this branch.
The highlights are the 1954 $10 and the BER (2004) journey $10. Too bad it is a high numbered Jenkins/Dodge signed BER note. (Why are the 2003 dated BER $10s so much more valuable if there were 7.2 million printed versus only 1.4 million of the 2004 dated notes?)

Main Branch Madness!
I paid a visit to the main branch on March 11th and the teller had some goodies for me.
Highlights are the PA $1 note (too bad the corner is missing!😢) and the crispy journey $10s. (Why did somebody have to fold them down the middle???😢)
I also got some penny rolls and some 50c pieces, plus a couple of black toonies and a Japanese 2000 yen note.
Enjoy!

The cheques in the photo seem to be dated July 11 and 12, 1980 when Terry Fox arrived in Toronto on his cross country run, so those notes would all be 1973 or earlier. And, that explains the Canada Trust and Toronto Dominion Bank cheques as those banks merged in 2000 to become TD Canada Trust. I don't remember a branch of the Province of Ontario Bank, but that's likely just me. Neat pic.
I guess it depends where you live of course in major cities better the chances are at finding them. These coins are widely available here in montreal. All denominations.
It's also about being in the right place at the right time. The branches that did tell me they got some said they only got one box, and they were gone within a day or two. It's easier to hop from branch to branch in a city than it is some rural locals that may have only one or two branches, and I cringe for those that need to drive for an hour to reach the only branch within a large region, do banking.
