$5 INS Rogers Radar

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Hi All,

I recently found an ATM in Toronto that is issuing INS Rogers in the 8.9m range BUT the machine is leaving "the scratch of death" on them.  Regardless, I've churned almost 1k notes out of this machine in the last few days and managed this one radar.  My last try at a withdrawal, the machine did not process my transaction and then $5 notes were no longer available on the selection so hoping I cleaned it out.  Wondering what they will re-stock it with?  Also, today I learned that branches of my bank do not stock the ATMs but another company does it.  Maybe why I'm finding all new INRs in most of the machines, except the one.

Cheers,
Breanna

I'm also finding new INR prefixes in Toronto too. I recently went to a Scotiabank and withdrew some cash and found the new INR bills. For me it didn't have any scratches in the window

Hi TN56,

If you are finding nice new notes (zero imperfections, scratches, or roller marks) in ATMs, look for radars and special serial numbers.  Maybe keep a couple of each prefix to form a set.

The prefix INS is a bit special because it is a "change-over" prefix.  That is when the signatures printed on the note change at some point in the numbering.  INS started with Lane/Macklem until about serial number 3969000, and then changes to the signature combination of Rogers/Macklem.  INS is the first prefix within the $5 denomination that bears Carolyn Roger's signature making those notes special.  The more perfect they are, the more valuable they are.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Breanna

Hey Breanna,

Thank you for the valuable information that you provide.i am on the lookout for anything that make the serial number special. I do have some radars in my collection but I usually spend the 3 digit radar as they are not special to me.

I also do collect the changeover signature like Macklem-Carney $5 2013 with 3.2 million printed I believe and or the vertical series $10 2018 FFE changeover which 854K were made I believe.

Once again thank you for the valuable information that you provided above
