June 13th finds:

I stopped into one of my regular banks on my way home.  The teller showed me a bunch of mutilated notes and I picked out a nice journey $50 and $10 from the pile.

The teller even saved me two nickels…a 1962 and 1967, from her change drawer!

Enjoy,
Dean

Hi,
This week I arrived a little bit to late and the cashier close before she finished she will keeps the notes for the next week.I asked to a other cashier 6000$ all with 50$.I would like to show you 3 notes I found who are interesting.The first one it's a funny number,the second I think it's a new prefix with Lane-Macklem signature and the last one the serial number on the left is higher than the right side.I do not found GMS prefix,for now no one is reported?

Hi,
This is the picture of the front of the HHA prefix.

That HHA prefix is interesting update for the Serial Number Data Base $50 info.

Might be a good idea to post it there too & contact admin so they can update the SNDB info Claude!

Thanks for sharing!

These are very nice finds...
There seem to be a lot of 1975 $100s around at the banks. I wonder why?

July 2nd:

I traded a 1954 $1000 note and some cash for two consecutive graded devil’s face $100s.

Enjoy,

July 4th finds:

$10 in pennies and a broken ladder note!

In the “regular” cash I withdrew today, I got a polymer $10 FFD 5346782 which is a broken ladder!
It’s too bad the number wasn’t 2345678! 

Here’s what I found inside the penny rolls:

$4.14 in pre 1997 copper Canadian cents, including:

A 1943, 47, 56 and 1959,

3 x 1961
2 x 63
7 x 64
3 x 65
4 x 66
3 x 67
3 x 68
2 x 69

In this haul, there was also $1.50 in US pennies.  I managed to find a 1919 and a 1946 wheat cent, plus a 2009 “formative years” Lincoln bicentennial cent.

Oh, and there was one UK penny dated 1994 in there too!

I’m going to go back to the bank tomorrow because the teller told me he had “lots of pennies”.  When I asked him how many he had, he said “how many do you want?”

I only bought $10 worth today…I wonder what is inside those other rolls?

Enjoy,
Dean

July 5th finds:

I went back to the bank to pick up the rest of the pennies.  There is $42 worth in customer wrapped rolls.

July 6th find:

I got this Wilkins-Macklem polymer $10 from the bank machine today.  I will keep it for now, considering that it is a changeover prefix, FFE.

I also picked up a box of nickels since it seems like the paper money flow is drying up at my regular banks.

Stay tuned for the coin roll update!

Dean

July 7th:  coin roll hunt update.

Here’s what I found in the batch of pennies and box of nickels I brought home over the last couple of days.

Nickels:

23 x USA
1 Indian Rupee 2015 date
1 unknown foreign coin…Look at the photo…can someone identify it?

Canadian
1961, 63, 64, 68
17x nickels dated between 1970 to 1981
26x cupronickel coins dated between 1982 to 2000

Highlights:
3 x 2005 victory nickels
5 x 2017 nickels
1 x 2000P

Pennies:
1938, 42, 2x44, 2x45,50, 51, 52, 2x 1953 NSF, 56, 2x57, 2x58, 60, 4x61, 5x62, 9x63, 6x64, 7x65, 3x66, 8x67, 5x68, 6x69.

USA:  1945, 1946P, 1946D, 50D, 53D, 1956P, 1956D, 2009 Professional life Lincoln cent, 2017P.

Other:
10x UK pennies 1979, 80, 81, 83, 84, 88, 97, 98, 2000, 2005
Barbados 1993
Bahamas 1987
2 Euro cents Greece 2002, Netherlands 2000, Italy 2002

Other:
1975 Canadian cent (red)

I am disappointed with the decreasing number of older Canadian coins out there in circulation.
I used to get 2 rolls worth of nickel bullion nickels out of a box.  Recently, the average is half a roll of nickel bullion…The alloy Recovery Program has effectively killed the coin roll hunting hobby in Canada.

There were also five rolls of pennies that were most likely metal detector finds…I didn’t even bother to search those coins because they were so awful in condition.  The newer zinc pennies were literally rotting away in the rolls!

I ended up returning 48 rolls of zinc pennies to the bank;  I kept all pre 1997 cents and I don’t see the point in keeping the zinc pennies.  There were lots of 2006 dated pennies, but no rare varieties.

Enjoy the pictures,
Dean
