Macklem-Carney $5 and 410 notes

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I have traders in all of them...in VF or better except my HAH which is maybe a Fine-12:

I think the HAH is tough one to find too....Good for  you!

You must be in the right place for these....

tks paperorplastic.

I still dont have a M-C HAL, which would complete my HAE-HAL set.

In the SNDB there are 60 HAL's vs only 15 HAE's

58 of the 60 HALs were found before September 2013.  Most of the HAEs were found since September 2013.

however I'd gladly trade TWO HAE's for ONE HAL in good shape!!!!   

All I have is an HAL in mediocre shape.  I don't know if I should trade it.

I'm going to hit the banks hard this week and see what I can dig up...with up to 5% M-C I should get a HAL soon!     

I finally found my first ever Macklem $5 in circulation today. HAG, quite heavily circulated. I can't believe how long it took!

You found your first after I found my last.  There's nothing but polymer here in Ottawa.  Even the banks don't seem to be recycling the paper notes any more.

I agree, I haven't received a paper $5 from a bank for a long time. But 16 out of the 25 $5s I received yesterday selling girl guide cookies with my daughters were paper. Plenty are still out there.

OK then, I guess if I am ever going to find another paper $5 bill, I will have to borrow someone's daughter and go door-to-door. 
But seriously, something is wrong with the money distribution system.  We have so many unanswered questions.  Where did all those unreleased paper notes go?  Why did paper $5 notes end at HAL and polymer start in HBG??  Were there too many embarrassing 3-letter words after HAL?  Did the Bank of Canada figure they are going to save so much money with polymer notes that they could justify being wasteful in disposing of lots of unreleased paper?  And does it actually mean anything when the BoC says there is no recall on paper notes?  The financial institutions are behaving as though paper money has an expiry date on it.  And if polymer $5 Macklem-Carney notes were printed in any appreciable numbers, why are they being withheld?
All this silence makes me want to scream like a little girl!  :-D

Try stamping your feet and flailing your arm in the air as well....if it doesn't help it will at least amuse bystanders

went through 168 notes today and got 3.6% M-C:

1 HAE (with stars this time, see pic)
1 HAF
4 HAG

all in VF30-35 I think:

I only ever found ONE M-C note a VERY long time ago.  It was in poor shape so it was spent...I kinda wish I held on to it now   I have had zero luck fining them at all since then...

I don't know... don't I have to be a member of the opposition in Parliament to do that? 

went through 250 $5.00 notes today and got 3.6% M-C again     

0 HAE 
2 HAF
5 HAG
2 HAK

mostly VF30-35 as usual...but still no M-C radar   

Also got one poor lonely Knight-Dodge printed in 2001 AOD 5774020 77 87 but the SNDB wont accept it (too old).

ordered a brick for this weekend...

  I got a HAF 5$ note today, a bit of a surprise for me because I haven't seen an M/C paper 5$ note since...I can't even remember probably January or late last year.  Condition isn't too bad considering the odd Journey note I get now is usually in poor shape.  Anyone else found any recently?

Yes I went through a mixed brick (1000 $5.00 notes) in May and found:
