What are the odds?

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I just received a 2007 BTG 10.00 mismatched serial numbered Error note and noticed that the 5 mismatched numbers are in the same position that are on my 2000 FDT 10.00 Error, including the same extra black box ! At first glance I thought that someone was trying to copy the batch of 2000 10.00 Error notes, however this is not the case as I examined the 2007 note under high magnification and found no traces of tampering. I know the odds of this exact Error are astronomical but could any Forum members be able to narrow down the odds ?http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/nova7415/DSCF0278_edited.jpg

I don't know what the mega odds are but go buy yourself a lottery ticket before your luck runs out. 

Nice Find! Congrats!
Weird with the extra box though.
The things that make you go mmmm....

Never have i found a mismatched serial numbered note in my change. How did you get yours?

To answer your question.....the 2000 10.00 was bought at a Charles Moore auction 6 years ago and the BTG note I was fortunate enough to win from an eBay seller for 460.00CAD last week. I doubt if I will ever find notes like these in any change in my life time . You can view the BTG note by searching eBay # 160298835470.

Same thing with the one I showed you here : http://www.cdnpapermoney.com/forum/index.php?topic=8250.0.

I've got to hand it to you Steve ......I had completely forgotten about your post back in July . Now I know that I'm getting old and sucumming to the "Sometimezers" . What made you hold onto it so long before listing it on eBay? Had I not checked eBay that day I would never have seen your note .

it's also quite odd that the #'s that are same on both sides are '8' and '0', on all three notes
