Hello CPMF,

A fourth 1954 $2 K/R no back plate number (no BPN) has been found and has been added to my note register.

A major online auction company in Quebec City includes this note in their upcoming sale, Session 2 on April 21st.  Lot #460 offers “no BPN” K/E 1756860 graded Legacy VF 20.

These notes continue to be elusive and someone with sharp eyes another found one.  Keep looking!

March 14th finds:

One of my banks called me to pick up some pennies.  When I arrived, the teller gave me 4 bank bags worth of them!

While I was there, I asked for paper money and the teller let me pick through the pile.  I chose three journey $100s and one journey $20.  The highlight is the pair of EJZ prefix $100s.

Enjoy!

  (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.

Just picked up this Replacement & Binary note!

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?)

Enjoy!

March 11th mail call:

I received a package from one of my contacts in Winnipeg.  He gets a lot of old money from his customers and he sent me a whole pile of $1s and a few $2s.

Enjoy!

March 11th finds:
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!
