Reporting new prefixes

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Got this from the TD ATM today

Here’s a post from the Bank of Canada Museum regarding Timothy Lane.  Seems it will only be in the $50s and $100 notes.

Makes sense, since the $50s and $100s are continually on the rise.  The absence of new notes for the three smallest denominations with the Lane/Macklem signature combo, implies that demand for those three denominations is likely in decline.  It's possible that the number of $10 bills being actively spent nationwide is likely cut in half or greater.  The $10 bill will likely still be around for at least a few more years, but it will probably become scarce like the U.S. $2 bill in some places (Atlantic Canada, in particular).

The 50s and 100s are on the rise due to rising inflation and the rampant Covid related government spending. The lower denominations are not in decline, they are being used as much as before. The 10s, being the “middle” denomination between the more commonly used 5s and 20s, have always been the least used. They are not going anywhere though, despite what you have been suggesting all the time here.

"Lane-Macklem" has been seen on the $5.00 INR prefix & apparently changes at INK prefix (though none reported yet).

SNDB has been updated to reflect the INK prefix changeover.

-Thanks! 

EDIT:
Appears as if the high end of IND Wilkins-Macklem is now missing from the SNDB "Wilkins-Macklem" chart for the $5.00:

Still missing the IND ]Wilkins-Macklem $5(above 8981999) change-over chart in the recently revised SNDB.

I received from the Royal Bank in Carleton Place, Ontario on October 8, 2022, a new prefix of HJA for the polymer $100 banknote.  It appears that $100 banknote is becoming very popular these days.

Was the HJA prefix the newest signatures (post-Lane/Macklem)?  I haven't been keeping up with the latest prefixes because the branch I normally went to has a troublesome panhandler who appears to be aggressive, and I am very afraid to visit that branch these days.

I agree, the $100 bill has been quite abundant for many years now. Back in the 1980s, $100 bills (and $50 bills) were few and far between (back then, probably to the same extent as the $10 bill today) - there were many occurrences where I would go to the bank just after it opens, and the tellers told me they did not have any $100 bills in their tills.  Because of inflation in the last 15 to 20 years (and even more this year), $100 bills are quite easy to come by.  Banks probably order far more of them nowadays than 15 to 20 years ago.

Since all of the $5 IN_ prefix is all used now. I wonder what is the next prefix for the 5 dollar bill, I would like to hear your thoughts about it.
