Insert / replacement notes

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I'm actually really curious i went the Chapters to check out the charlton's bible . why is replacement notes worth more than it's face value? (If you get a brick, Wouldn't that mean you got 1000 insert notes?)

A insert is a sheet of notes that has been "inserted" into the brick as a replacement for some notes that had issues or errors, these notes are depicted by a different prefix and sometimes there are no inserts in a brick as things went smooth, no mistakes were made, I could be wrong about this and maybe a more informed member could tell you, but I think thats the reason when you find an insert it is more rare, thus the premium!!!

I think you should be reading more of the posts and articles on insert/replacement notes. A brick is 1000 notes , that does not mean insert notes.

these notes are depicted by a different prefix

This is not always true. For instance the new APN inserts were found in an APN brick and this is the case with many inserts.
Also remember that there are sheet replacements and SNRs (Single Note Replacements) so they would not be present in every brick.

I'm still learning paper money. I more of a coin guy than a paper guy but paper just interest me more and more now

Thanks for the answers:D still making my way reading the forum posts:D
