Post your new $5 and $10 finds

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

but the Scotia machines that stock $10s are already switched over to the polymers.

Hmm...last I heard of an ATM spitting out $10's was TD back in the Birds issue days.  Was the same era when RBC machines gave out $5's.

I wasn't even aware Scotia still gave out $10's.  My wife is with Scotia and I'm not sure even she's aware.

Not all Scotia machines have $10s. In fact - the only Scotia machines I know of that have $10s are the ones located in the concourse/lobby of the main Toronto branch. They have a few machines which only dispense $10/$50 notes, the others are $10/$20.

When you take out $800 from the latter ones, you get 30x$20 and 20x$10 notes!

Some more hunting of the downtown bank branches turned up FEY $10s, HBH and HBL $5s (both M/P). Will enter them now.

For what it's worth, I got an FEW $10 in my change from a local supermarket.  The cashier admitted he was quite shocked they appeared this soon. I Did happen to submit it to the SNDB (my first time!) with images to prove it.

Now the countdown is on to the day I finally see a Polymer $5 bill.

My Scotia bank says they wont have them until later this month ?!?!

That's basically the reponse I got from a couple TD branches here in Mtl.

Not surprising, considering last year it took me about 3 weeks from release to see a polymer $20 from an ATM.

Scotiabank Vancouver Oakridge has them. I asked for a bundle of each but the most they would give me was 30 $5s and 25 $10s.

HSBC ATMs dispense $10s, $20s, and $50s.

Wonder what the significance of this is... Note 2 different BP numbers (37, 38) for top two notes and 3 different BP numbers (25, 26, 27) for bottom 3 notes.

I believe that this is the same as what one would expect in the 20 polymers of the FS- type. I think someone had determined that they were skip 200.

so

4494138 would belong to the range 4494000 to 4494199 (37/37)
4494338 would belong to the range 4494200 to 4494399 (38/38)
4495938 would belong to the range 4495800 to 4495999 (27/27)

and so on

Got some new 5$ (and forgot to get some 10$ like a dork but you will see why when I explain).  Teller puts the notes on the desk and I see a poloz signature then when he lifts them up to count I see HBG which put a smile on my face since I didn't expect that.  I totally forgot to ask about 10$ notes because I was so focused on a possible changeover on 5$ notes.  Changeover must be in HBG it seems.  I'll post a pic once I find batteries for my camera and should I enter them in the SNDB now or wait until the changeover is changed?

Okay who's picked up the new 5's and 10's .... and what prefixes are you getting...

Today I happened to go to the bank and picked up a bundle of 5's and 10's

5's are HBH
and 10's are FEW

Pics of the highest and lowest number in the bunch that I got.  Should I enter them in the SNDB now or wait for the people in charge to update it?

Makes sense, thanks.

I noticed this new trend with the front and back plate numbers when I got my first Polymer $10 bill today, and it turns out that both those numbers are identical now.  Makes me wonder if it has to do with the BoC relying on only one printer (CBN), since BABN withdrew from printing banknotes indefinitely?
