If it weren't for bad luck...

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Hi All:

I withdraw a couple of $20s out of the ATM and what does it dispense?  EYG0360969 and EYG0360970. A mere 9,000 from the replacement range.

Oh, well they're UNC and I don't have the prefix. I think I'll keep'm.

I think few (if any) members on such EYG insert notes... They are very hard to find, they are like the AZA inserts and the HNN inserts. Better luck next time!

And if that's not bad enough, I received in change today HOG0879008. Not quite as close as the $20 notes, but sheesh!

I'd have to say my AHB9888882 I got today trumps all.  

Ouch!!!

That one hurts!  

I got one to cheer you guys up! I did manage to score an HOR6161616 in a brick last week. I kept it and dual Shoulders. A Very nice addition to the collection!
(BTW, mixed in the bricks I got a total of 40 HOR Insert Notes  )

I'm sure everyone has their stories of missing out by a number or two.  I've got a dozen myself.  Last Thurs, after checking 1000 $10 (not one in good shape) plucked out a 2 digit radar which made me feel better until I turned the note over to find the number 24 written on it.  Also that day: Birds $50 FHZ & FME  SN were 3 ato 5000 away from replacement, and the same for 3 $10 BEV's (lower numbers) which one rarely comes across.

Thisis my bad luck brick: I had a brick of $10s once that had replacements that ended ONE number before being  RADAR replacements!  I think that is pretty high on the bad luck charts lol.

(However apparantly I am VERY lucky for even finding inserts at all)!!

Got a $20 Journey note today, serial number AZK2222221   Talk about a close call...

ARRRGGG!!!

 Just picked up 2 mixed bricks of HOK and HOP, no inserts or radars.

Just missed almost 6+ radars including this one.
