Week of October 20th finds, part 2:

More pictures of my finds from this week…I just noticed that one of the birds $50s has some offset ink on the back.  Would you keep it or send it back?

Enjoy!

Week of October 20th:  summary of finds.

I haven’t had a lot of time to post this week, so I’m doing it all at once!

This week was a good week at the banks.  I found a lot of coins, including $3 in US dimes, lots of foreigns, some commemorative quarters, 2023 King Charles quarters and four silver dimes (2x 1963, a 1967 and a 1952.

In terms of paper money, I was able to obtain a 1954 $1000 bill ($1000 bills are becoming really hard to obtain from a bank’s mutilated pile), $13.50 in rolled pennies, 21 US $2s, some nicer birds and journey $50s and even a beat up birds $50 with four 8s in the serial number.  Is there any demand for a note with four 8s?

I even obtained a broken ladder polymer $5 in change this week!

In terms of purchases, I obtained a neat binary numbered 1974 $2 for a very reasonable price.  And I received from Claude a neat birds $2 with writing on it.  More on that note in my other thread.

And on a negative note, I bought a roll of toonies when I was picking up other coin rolls, and four of them were counterfeit!  ☹️

Enjoy!

(FLZ, said to have been reported late September, is most likely an error). Maybe there's a dry spell happening now.

I agree because all of the other $20 Lane-Macklem/Rogers-Macklem FL_ prefix would have to release first before it reaches FLZ. I believed they tried to type in FLA but mistakes could happen as the letter Z in the keyboard is near A.

I wonder why the admin hasn't removed the error made yet but maybe in the future it will be dealt with.

I wonder if there's a statute on the $10 Wilkins-Macklem signature notes, now that the Rogers-Macklem signatures are out in full force for the $10s? Makes me wonder if there is a recall on any unreleased Wilkins-Macklem $10s to make way for the Rogers-Macklem $10s?  Of course, if there is a recall, any existing $10s with older signatures already in circulation that are still in good condition wouldn't be affected.

Maybe that could explain the significant absence of FFJs issued into circulation, as well as FFGs over the 7 million range.

Also, I have noticed that, so far this year, October had no new prefixes reported to the SNDB.  All other months this year have had at least one new prefix reported. HJD - the official last new Lane-Macklem prefix to ever be issued - was likely the last prefix legitimately reported, which was early in September (FLZ, said to have been reported late September, is most likely an error). Maybe there's a dry spell happening now.

Hi,
Few months ago someone told me about the FFJ prefix and I also read the post on this website and since two months ago I take attention on that and for now is this possible to only sew a range?Like I said I sew every week a circulated brick of 10$(1000x10$) and I dont found one FFJ prefix under 6 million and over 9 million?Every brick it contains about easely 10 to 15 FFJ?.Like I said it's maybe the same for the FFG prefix I do not found over 7 million for now??Maybe in the futur it will found more range?
Do you found something new?

I recently noticed that there is a lack of 2023 Charles coins in circulation particularly the 10 cents coin. In my one year of spending cash and getting coins back in change, I have only received 1 2023 Charles dime in the span of 1 year. Is anyone not getting any 2023 Charles coin in general? Most of the time I get 2024 Charles coin in my change and I would like to hear about your thoughts.

One of my friend found a 2024 dated Charles loonie and toonie which were not commemorative coins but they are releasing into circulation.

This is great news 

This situation with King Charles coins not being as abundant in circulation pales in comparison with when the new $10 bills with Viola Desmond were first issued in 2018.  Atlantic Canada (especially Newfoundland) had a very small number to start, and banks in Newfoundland (and likely Atlantic Canada) had a large number of outstanding MacDonald $10s to distribute.  Because of scarcity of Desmonds, people likely held on to them and would likely only spend the MacDonald $10s.  Five years later, in 2023, the number of Desmond $10s now overshadow the MacDonald variety in my province. I do not remember the last time I received a MacDonald $10 in my change or from an ATM - they're quite scarce now.

The King Charles coins are likely in the same predicament.  They are very scarce - I never see any in my change, and could imply that people who receive them from the bank refuse to spend them until they become more abundant.

If this trend with the Desmond $10s holds true for the King Charles coins, I expect it will be 2028 or 2029 by the time they become widely circulated nationwide, including Atlantic Canada.

Also, are there any King Charles coins minted for 2024 (not including commemorative) yet?

I have seen King Charles coin minted in the year 2024 what Dean said. One of my friend found a 2024 dated Charles loonie and toonie which were not commemorative coins but they are releasing into circulation.

The 2024 King Charles nickels, quarters and dimes are abundant in Toronto.
