I was under the impression that the 0000000 note is removed by the BOC.
If this is true, what replaces that specific note?

My 18th edition Charlton says on page 336, which covers Canadian Journey series notes, that the zero note is "removed and a replacement note substituted."

Thanks
Has anyone ever been lucky enough to get the first brick of a prefix.
would be curious to know what insert was used in it?

I have a friend who found in an ATM the #ALG0000001 and after that, he got a replacement (AZA).
And this same friend found the radar 0001000 (or 0002000, I don't remember well), so this proves that the #0000000 is substituted by a single note replacement, not by a sheet replacement.
But in one instance, the #0000000 indeed found its way into circulation (a member in this forum reported this find made by someone else). To my knowledge, it's the only note #0000000 found in circulation, and not in the specimens sold by the BoC.
And I never heard about someone who got the first brick of a given prefix.

Here is an image of the only number zero known. Both notes have been sold.

Oooo dem is nice pair of Birds.
And I never heard about someone who got the first brick of a given prefix.
I think a member here has managed to pick up a first brick a little while back. Perhaps he could enlighten us replacement of this "HOP 0000000 note".
Clue: I believe he is still looking for 5212005.

I the past I did get a brick that showed that the whole sheet was pulled with the 000000 number, because that brick would have had a 2 digit Radar, but it was replaced with an insert.
With that sheet they pulled about 10 or so radars in total! :(

WOW.....Philippe.....What great notes those 2 are! I would think that they are much rarer than my 2 10.00 notes with the 5 mismatched serial numbers :o.

TONS of 0000000 notes can be seen on the Bank of Canada's Currency Museum website. Some are overprinted "SPECIMEN" and some aren't.
