Dean’s finds

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Hi Dean,
It's about the 50$ GMP,today when I change my 1000x10$ to 50$ I found 2xGMP 0913348 and a new high # 1908061.The things I think about that it's maybe the same like the 10$?About 4 years I take 1000x10$ to change it to 50$ every weeks,and I never found in 10$ the prefix FFN until 3 weeks ago,two notes but someone told me at Toronto they have this prefix in circulation.I think it will be the same for the 50$ they maybe start to be in circulation??A other collector I know near of Quebec have found some GMP.About the FFJ for now I never foud a serial # under 6 million and over 9 million??
The futur will be explain that???

Nov 22nd update:

I searched the 600 x 1973 $1s that I bought.  In them, I found several BFF prefix notes for my collection as well as some BCJ, BCL BCP, BFG and BCT prefix notes (not pictured as they were all the common large B type).

Overall, it was a disappointing hunt, but this is the only way to gather any information on prefixes.

I also picked up a box of quarters…An update will come in the near future with what’s inside the rolls.

Enjoy!

Based on my observation in the box of quarters I can see

A Canada Flag quarter 2015 colored
A Stanley Cup quarter 2017
A Laura Secord quarter 2013 colored

Dean you are off to a great start based on my observation, I should try coin rolling one day but I get most of my coins from change and the Presto machine which gives me a ton of toonies which I found many commemorative coins from the TTC presto machine. Sometimes once in a while some TTC employees will give me some old nickel dollar or 50 cents coin to add for my coin collection.

Hi TN56,
Do you work for the TTC?  I have tried hunting dime rolls in boxes that were sealed and rolled by the TTC…and I found nothing special in them.

Hello Dean,

Unfortunately I do not work for the TTC, I have seen your reply about hunting a box of dime from the TTC, I have some information if you need. Ask me anything and I’ll try my best to answer

I forgot to mention Dean,

Whatever the customer deposit in the fare box (A colored coin or a commemorative coin or maybe even silver coins) they will all be sent to a specific location and the coins will be rolled up to be sent to the bank. I don’t know if they do the ARP program and sort out coins.

Sincerely,

TN56

January 6th finds:
No paper, but lots and lots of coins…

TTC dime box update:  I was able to search through both boxes of TTC labelled dimes.  Highlights include:

Over four rolls of pre-2000 dimes
Lots of US dimes
Bluenose under sail
And a few 2017 commemoratives

The foreign coins were the most interesting…

Two 5 Bani coins from Romania, dated 2020 and 2022
Turkey 5 Kurus 2015
Panama 1/10 Balboa, 2019

But no silver.  ☹️I was a bit disappointed by the lack of finds in the TTC boxes…

Enjoy!

Dean you should try hunting boxes of quarters, loonies or toonies from the TTC. I'm sure the finds will be good as I see people depositing lots of quarters, loonie and toonies in the fare box. If you have any questions regarding TTC fare collection I can answer most of your questions.

December 8th:  A week in review.

I managed to visit three banks in the past week, including the Main Branch.  I was rewarded with some paper money, most notably the 1975 EFA and EHX prefix $50s.  Of course, the EHX replacement note is the one that is written on!

There’s still a lot of paper money hiding out there if you’re willing to search for it!

Enjoy!

December 8th:  Weekend purchases.

I bought these notes yesterday, and I am very pleased, especially with the graded 1954 *R/C replacement note.  And, this note has a lower number than what’s in the catalogue.

The Christmas card is cool.  It has three 1967 $1 notes inside of it, which was a lot of money back then for a kid!

I also picked up a run of 20 x 1967 $1s with the serial number.

Enjoy!
Dean
