May 26th finds:
It’s raining $2 bills…along with some $1s for variety.
I was planning to go straight home from work today…until the bank messaged me to say that they had “lots of $2 bills”.
Well, I just had to check them out and I’m glad I did!
73 $2 notes, 22 $1s and one 1979 $20 plus some black toonies and other commemorative toonies and loonies were waiting for me.
This appears to be an estate clean out. There are nicer condition notes but not consecutive other than one pair. This suggests that somebody accumulated the notes a handful at a time.
The later prefixes on the $2s suggest that the collector was squirreling the notes away right around the time that the toonies were released in 1996. I remember many people at the time doing this.
The $1 notes are not in great shape, but there are some 1954 $1s in there plus a couple of curiously toned notes that I will comment on in my other thread.
Highlights of the lot include two birthday notes, 2013125…January 25th 2013 or May 12th 2013.
and 9161967…September 16th 1967.
Also interesting is a 4 digit radar note EGR 7523257 and a note with a number CBH 9191119 plus another interesting note, CBA 9933339.
The 1979 $20 also has something interesting scribbled on it. More on this note in my other thread…
Enjoy!
