The New Fifty - Who's got it?

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Hi, there.

I am creating this thread a few hours before the new $50 is officially released, just out of anticipation of the new note.  Would somebody please let us know who has the new $50 and what they plan to do with it, and what bank you got them from?

Later!  Jonathan  

I've been fairly quiet on the matter, but you really should work on making sure that you have some substance to your posts before you post stuff.  Thanks.

Yes, and always making sure you have evidence to back up what you're saying.  Should be a forum rule.

I believe it would be covered under the following proposed rule:

Intentionally posting multiple posts or topics that contain the same content or similar content is considered spam. Similarly, posts must contain some level of substance.  Spam or otherwise pointless posts are deleted on sight, and the poster may receive a warning and/or ban at a moderator/admin's discretion. Posting commercial spam for other sites or products is bannable on first offense.

Once again I have to say;
Who does it hurt
To post this way
Its all a hobby
we all enjoy
so sit relax
OR GO COLLECT TOYS!!!

Congrat's Kobecurrency for posting the first scans!   You beat me!!!  

I got them this morning at 9:00. They are AHB3247634-637. The teller would give me only 4. But I'm happy I got them this morning. They were from BMO main branch in downtown Toronto.

How come the teller would only give you four of the new $50's??

She said "We have to save them for other customers", I wanted 10 of them. I went to the other 4 banks in the downtown core, and none of them had it.

Canadahk, you've made a point.  When the new fiver was issued in 2002, a lot of banks would only give me four of them.  Luckily, when I went to the CIBC the day after the $5 release, I asked the friendly teller if she had the new fives.  She did, and I asked her for twenty of them.  She gave them to me in one single transaction, although most banks would only give out a maximum of four per customer, per day, immediately after release.  IMO, "first come, first served", is what it should be when a new bill gets released, but yes, canadahk, you made a very good point.

However, I don't plan on going to the bank myself until at least Friday.  But wouldn't it be kind of cool for me to get a crisp bill for every denomination of the Journey's?

Bye 4our Now, Jonathan

You and countless other Canadians.

I awaited the new $50 because of the excitement of the completion of Journey. I had spent the weeks before going to banks to look for crisp $100, $10, $5 bills. I didn't save any UNC ones, and deposited them before. Now, I have a UNC of the bills, and they look really nice now, with the touch of red from the $50. The $50 is really great in person, M. King stand out very well, and looks lifelike.

Mackenzie King does a look a little chubby on this one.
