Just added this to the registry. It's a new high serial number. Not in the best of shape but rare, nonetheless.  I now have all but 2 of the 1974 $2 prefixes. Still looking for BP Modified Tint and *RD.

Enjoy!

Hi All,

As I am reviewing notes I got from the bank today, I am wondering if anyone is still finding mis-matched serial numbers in new issue notes or with advancements in computerized quality control, has the Mint eliminated this note error ever going into circulation? 

Also wondering, if one does get into circulation wouldn't the scan feature in the Automated Cash Dispensers in banks identify a mis-matched serial number as abnormal and reject it?  Would be very interested in what exactly those CDMs actually 'do' when scanning notes such as what features are they looking at and why, if anyone has any info on this.

Cheers,
B

PS.  Some people used to "brick" in attempts to establish what notes could be replacement notes.  Is anyone still doing Bricking?

sam, were the 5 HJC notes you discovered all within a certain number range (i.e. within a certain million, or something like high 1 million-low 2 million range, or something like that?), or were they multiple different ranges (i.e. 1 million, 4 million, 6 million, etc.)?  If they are within a certain number range, then chances are HJC may very well be established in Atlantic Canada now.

All of the notes are between 3.6M and 4.6M, so that means they could start being distributed around here. It would be nice to get new prefixes.

And how many FZZ $20s have you spotted in your area?  If you spotted multiple FZZs, were they all within a certain million range, or multiple different ranges?

I’ve spotted 4 notes with FZZ. Two of the notes were in the 2M range, one of them was very high 5M, and one was low 6M.

I learned over the last few months that Canada Post is involved in an industrial inquiry by the IIC - which is appointed by the Federal Government.  There were two rounds of contract talks since the workers returned to work, but still no deal reached to date.

I find that industrial inquiries have had a history of paving the way for a deal.  It happened with the strike at the Voisey's Bay mines in Labrador in 2011, and later with the Chronicle Herald newspaper in Halifax in 2017. I have a feeling the latest industrial inquiry will lead to a successful deal and a clear understanding of Canada Post's financial problems to the union. I also feel as if a media blackout could help bring a speedy end to the labor strife that's over one year in the making.

Worst case scenario, if the strike resumes, I bet Mark Carney will likely legislate them back to work - something Justin Trudeau would never have done during the course of the strike.

Thank you Dean for the new discovery.Saturday at Mtl.will have coin show(nuphilex).I'll let you know if I found somethings.

March 20th finds:

Back on the paper!

Today, one of my banks gave me a boatload of circulated paper notes, mostly 1973 $1s and 1986 $2s, with some $5s and $10s mixed in.

There was nothing much in this lot except for an EAX replacement $1, a ratty old BFF prefix note that looked like it was a wallet note, and four notes that were cut (badly) by hand from two $1 banknote sheets!

Why anybody would cut up a banknote sheet to deposit it at face value is beyond me.  🙁

There were also some BB— and BG— notes for Claude.

Also of note were some 1986 $2s in the AU— prefixes.  Is there anybody interested in this data?
If so, I can share it.

I decided to buy some rolled coins as well, because usually when I find paper notes, I also find good coins.

Enjoy!
Dean
