BTV notes

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

I have been wondering about the rarity of BTV short run and changeover.  We know of 3 confirmed ranges .  I know there is suspected regular ranges also.  Can anyone shed some light on this.

cheers

3 Confirmed ranges 

According to Gilles Pomerleau's Jan/2010 list i see only 2 ranges. Sheet replacement 0.120-0.160 and SNR 0,080 and 0.086

What would be the third range?

you are correct.  OOps forgot to open my eyes.  thanks for clarification.

Hey PB

I know that i have looked around allot and tried to see if i could possible get a guesstimate together. From what I've been able to gather is from the low estimate to the high estimate would be 2X more. We can see how many have been entered so that's a good start. The other thing is since everyone (myself included) were looking threw a ton of $10 trying to find the BTT/BTU error i haven't personally found any in circulation. I did find 4 BTV SNR (GP/2010) and i went threw allot of bricks to find them. Below is my Brick info.

Date      September 24, 2009   
FP/BP        63/68

Nothing            

And Oct 13 was the last time i received a brick that could possibly contain BTV notes.

My personal opinion is that this a tough note but time will tell. I did think a brick could have existed (just speculation not fact) but i don't believe that to be the case but time will tell.

If anybody has anything to add i think we would love to hear about it.

FWIW

I made numerous withdrawals (3 - 4000 used $10 notes) over the course of the summer- hoping to find a number of BTV's   

I found one EF-AU BTV note in the middle of August  and entered it into the data base here (it was a sheet replacement).     

IMO:
My suspicion is that the BTV's were stopped short since they're the last of the Jenkins/Dodge signature.   I would not be surprised if there was a very limited # that were released as either sheet replacement or regular and we all know that as a SNR -there would be very few released that way.  They most likely went out like the 2003 BEK.  I would agree with MG- looking to be a very "tough note" to find. 

However, we do not know if there are any hoards, & it will be unlikely whether we know this for a while.

A quick check of the SNDB high-lows shows that no BTV notes under 0040000 are recorded.  That's a whole ream (40 bricks) that could and probably still is somewhere waiting to be released.

Hey

I thought that since things are little slow and many of us have had very little to cheer about other than a ton of old prefixes i've posted a BTV set. I was fortunate enough to have found the SNR ( brick info in this thread) and some much appreciated help from some of you.

Hope you enjoy it!

I found a BTV in circulation today..... nothing special about it besides being a BTV (1st one I have encountered).

Well that might be a slight lie..... was going through about 20 $10 notes and first saw BTV. My first response was OMG FINALLY I have a BTV! Then I started to read the full serial.... BTV...009...8...6.....0.........7 AWE COME ON!!! (@#^#($*@^#$@#$&)!%@$)!@$&

Don't sweat it too much Wizard, If this prediction turns out to be correct you still have a chance of getting yourself a full brick 

Received a nice strong VF BTV0098946 as a single bill from grocery change and nearly fell over in shock  (a good shock though!)

Looks like these notes are going to be a rarity! Only 190,000 printed (inserts/Non inserts) with 2007. I have yet to find one. 

Out of curiosity has anybody been lucky enough to find any more BTV in circulation or bricks

Unfortunately not

I think I have found three in circulation.  The last one was about a month ago.

Were they the sheet replacement, snr, or regular issue note?
