December 14th finds:

I stopped by one of my banks today and the friendly teller was kind enough to give me some penny rolls, an old 1981A series American $20, three commemorative US quarters and a coin from Kuwait.

Also in this haul were:

Five journey $50s,
A 1975 $100
Two journey $10s…BTT and BTU prefixes…but no errors in the paper.
A birds $5
and a bunch of journey $5s.


I had no luck getting any commemorative loonie or toonie rolls though.

Enjoy the pics!

Hi Dean,

For us newbies that weren't around for this issue, wondering if you might elaborate on what the paper error was on the $5 BTU's and the BTT's???

Thank you!  CB

Some of the BTT/BTU $10s were printed on paper that was meant for the $20 note.  Instead of Sir John A. In the watermark, you’ll see the Queen and the security strip will be of the $20.

Pre-Christmas cashout!  Part 1

My bank was very nice to me last week.  On Thursday, they offered up the following notes:

A pile of 1973 $1s, birds $2s (and a couple of 1974s along with one 1954)

A whole pile of birds $5s, some journey $5s

A few 1975 $50s (one EFA prefix)

A few birds $50s

A birds $100

And a 1975 $100

Oh, and they had rolls of the black toonies as well.

Enjoy!
Dean

Pre Christmas cashout, part 2:

Birds $5s…and $2s…so…many…$2s….for Claude.  🙂

As a follow up, the AUH $2 is signed by Crow/Bouey and the AUK $2 is signed Thiessen Crow.

December 28th finds from the local bank, always searching for the Journey replacement notes.  Enjoy the pictures.

January 4th finds:

Today, the friendly teller let me look through the mutilated notes.

I got nothing too special today, some journey notes and a couple of nicer birds notes but she did give me a birds $1000 and seven rolls of black toonies!

$1000 notes seem harder to obtain these days; I guess that’s to be expected since they were withdrawn 23 years ago.   

At the grocery store, the coin star machine even paid out!  I got the following coins rom the reject tray:

UK penny, 2009
Canadian nickel 2002
10 centavos Brazil, 2013
10 sen, Malaysia, 2018

Enjoy the pics!

PS:  if anybody wants a roll of the black toonies, please send me a PM.

Hi Claude,

All of the GPW $5s have the clear back plate number.

Hi Dean, I sent you a pm….

Hi Dean,
This is a picture of a 5$ with misplaced back plate number.The # is higher in the brushwood.
The only one I do not have it's the GPL prefix.

January 9th finds:

Two banks, two scores!

I went to two of my regular banks today…The first bank paid out with four rolls of black toonies, thirty rolls of pennies and a crispy journey $100.

The second bank gave me some 1973 $1 notes, a 1969 $20, a 1979 $20, a 1979 $5, a bunch of birds $2s, some 1974 $2s and a ratty old journey $10 and $20.

Overall, it was a good day…The toonie rolls were sold even before I got them home.  🤣

Enjoy the pics,
Dean
