2005 FEV Non-Replacement $10 Notes

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Has anyone ever seen or heard of any FEV Regular notes? According to the highs and Lows and charlton, there are two FEV ranges:
0.00-0.36M
1.035-4,311M
Do these notes in the non-replacement ranges really exist .. any ever been up for sale?

According to the highs and Lows and charlton, there are two FEV ranges:
0.00-0.36M
1.035-4,311M

The only range I am aware of has been listed between 0.36 - 1.035

Although I've seen it reported the end of FEV is 4.31 - I've never seen an FEV note above or below the .36-1.035 (675k) range.

I was going through some stuff today and when I came across the FEV notes I noticed the discrepancy in the book.
As it says only insert replacement notes reported to date.
Yet there is no listing for inserts above 1.035M??
Found it weird that there was not another listing in the replacements section for 1.035M and up.

FEV notes were only used as replacement notes in the range stated above. All other FEV notes outside that range was never issued and circulated. Much like in the earlier journey 10s we see the same thing with the FDZ Knight-Thiessen where no notes below 9.0M were issued and all notes up until 9.6 (at signature changeover point) were only issued as replacements. Its notes prefix like these that make collecting bank notes very interesting.

I also recall that FEV was the last CBN-printed prefix printed in 2005, and FDZ was the last CBN-printed prefix printed in 2000.  FEA, which was the next prefix, was printed in 2001.

There were no more CBN prefixes after 2005 until the Frontiers series started at FEW (the prefix) in 2013.

I have realized a pattern with regards to the last prefixes printed in the initial batch of a new banknote series.

After I learned about BSW being the last prefix of the initial batch of current $20 notes printed, and the same for EKZ on the current $100 notes, and there was speculation that the BSW and EKZ notes were designed as test notes, could it be possible that FEV had a limited number released in the initial batch of Version 2.0 of the Journey $10s printed in 2004 (not 2005) released as replacements, and a higher range was likely used as test notes that were never disclosed?

I feel as if the same thing may have happened with $10 FDY & FDZ, $50 AMH through AML, and maybe some of the $5 HBG prefix. Limited numbers were released of FDY and HBG, but AMH through AML were never released to general circulation (though AMH and AMJ could have been sitting in the vaults, but AMK and AML may have been used as test notes).  Could this be possible?
