This polymer $5 folder is being sold on eBay. I had never seen it until a couple of months ago. Is this an official BoC product or a private creation?

It looks like an official BoC product by the font of the text and the design of it. I have never seen this before until now. I wonder how much the seller is selling it for and what is the serial number on the $5

I believe it was an official Bank of Canada offering.  I have seen this same auction on eBay and the note has the serial number HBH4390348 (see image).  The starting price of the auction is CAD $15 with no bids.

Looks like something you would buy at the Bank of Canada gift shop as a souvenir.

The same eBay seller sold a similar offering for the $10 polymer note back in November 2024 for CAD $15.

Thanks. Now that you mentioned it, I remember seeing this $10 folder listing too. Has anyone seen similar folders with $20, $50 and $100 notes? Does anyone on this forum have these $5 and $10 folders for sale, or know someone who does?

I have not seen these before or if I did I don't remember,  The RCM did a couple of 2$ coin and $2 note packages quite a few years ago.
