Main branch madness…and more!
I was out and about today and stopped by the main branch of my bank. They didn’t have any paper notes to show me, but the nice teller offered me two rolls of Aboriginal toonies.
When I got home, I had two messages from two other banks saying that they had stuff for me to look at. So off I went…
The second bank of the day offered up 60 penny rolls, $10 worth of 50c pieces, three $2 notes and two 1969 $20s. One of the $20s looks to be a bit out of register…It’s in pretty good shape too!
The third bank of the day told me that they had some “really old $1s, $2s and $20s.”
Off I went and to my surprise, the teller gave me a 1937 $20 note, some 2 letter prefix 1973 $1s, some 1967 $1s with serial numbers, a pair of 1954 $20s and last but not least, a 1974 $2 with two letters.
For kicks, I asked if they had any pennies and the teller gave me 29 rolls!
In all three cases, the tellers said that they were happy to “get rid of the pennies” as it is a lot of paperwork to ship them out. 😀
There are two penny rolls encased in those old “penny pinchers” that the banks used to give out in the 1970s. Does anybody use these anymore?
All in all, it was a productive day of hunting.
Enjoy!
