I picked up some new $20s today from a TDCT ATM in Kitchener and I found this one in among a stack of 15 notes (I was withdrawing $300). The other notes were AYT.
(http://www.bwjm.ca/journey2_large.gif)
Could this possibly have been a test to see what a Journey $2 would look like??? The back of the note was blank and thus it had no serial number.
When I saw the note, I didn't say anything to the bank because despite only getting $282, that $2 note has gotta be worth a heckofa lot more than $20!!!
This is NOT for sale until I can get a handle on what it might be worth.

Congratulations on an excellent find :D
I see that the Queen still remains the portrait on the new $2's ;D

I dunno....
A fellow collector with an established reputation offering such anote as a possible Test Note for the defunct $2.00 bill.
As well the holographic strip is screaming 20's.
Nice try though.

Some guys have all the luck!! :P
-
Is this for real?? :-/
Or are you just razzin' us?? ::)
-
OK, you guys got me... Yes, it is a fake. ::) I scanned in my Journey $20 and played around in Photoshop a bit. A friend of mine wanted a picture of a Journey $2 note so this is what came out of that little endeavor.
BTW: canada-hongkong was the first person to spot that it was indeed a fabrication.
BUT, I did get a few of you. Tom, for one, was fooled by the image. I had him convinced that it was some kind of internal test note that came from a sheet slipped into the pile of regular notes. ;D
-
Which brings me to ask a question that I was going to post.
Are there "test notes" made with these new notes?
Have there been any since the '73 and '74 ones and twos respectively?
-
The latest Charlton Catalogue does mention briefly about the two known experimental notes. They do state the serial number JHS, JPH, both with serial number 2912607. It's on page 292 - titled under "Experimental Notes".
I wonder if there is another experimental note with the same number for this $20 note aswell?

Hi BWJM,
Adobe Photoshop
- Adjustment
- Color Balance for change from green to Reddish brown
-
Yeah, I know... I haven't been able to master that little aspect of Photoshop yet. I played around with it a bit, but it just looked horrible.
-
I trust BWJM and would go with just about anything he says.... ;)
Oh BTW... you still owe me $20 ;D
-
I don't trust BWJM >:(
Not since he emailed me a picture of an X- note I sent him and it had mis-matched numbers with a little bit of his computer magic he does, but he made me believe I had not noticed this before I sent it.
My heart skipped a beat that night but I'll look closer at his errors from now on.
BWJM is very trustworthy exept when it has to do with images. :o
-
LMAO - So true! I did work a little Photoshop magic on him a while back. As Gary says, I'm almost always honest, but I do like to have a little fun with this stuff sometimes. ;D
-
Then how come the "fake" Journey $2 test note is green and not reddish-brown, like the last of its real kind?
-

I already answered the question. See my reply above.
-
New and improved!
-
That's more like it.....just gotta make it more reddish. :)
-
OK, I'm liking this pair...
-
I wish they were real... ;D

Brent, what does the verse read on the "so-called" Journey $2 "test" note?

I believe it is some kind of a curse that relates to bad luck, the "deuce", a slang term for the Devil, etc. I don't have the wording handy. ;)

BWJM your bill is very nice, but the back does not represent the " journey serie" It should have been a monument or something like that...It is nearer the Bird series according to me :P
-
It will be cool if you were able to make a 1$ bill with the 10$ :) Make us dream more a little bit...

You'd have to replace MacDonald's portrait on the ten with the Queen on the $20. Besides, the $20 is pretty much the same colour as the long-demised $1 bill. To make a "mock" Journey $1 note, you'd have a lot of work to do. ;D
-
It could be done.
I managed to make a good mock Birds $1, but the colours were quite tricky to manipulate. The several hues in the background were difficult to mimic.

I was looking through this post and tried the 2 websites that suredetta had posted but went up to sites about polarbears. Maybe some will show me an image of the "Fake" $2 Journey Test Note. Thank You. :)
