New Journey $5 Test Note (This is NOT a Joke!)

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Here is what I have gathered from talked and hearing...
These notes were put into the hands of a few people out here, and that is where they are staying. Dealers, collectors alike, these notes are going to be hard to get out of anyone's hands who has them now.  
Just kind of the feel of what is happening after talking to a few....

I am still reserving comments until I can examine these notes first-hand. (Yes, they have yet to arrive)

Went to meet with someone who has the notes- and examined them (the notes).  They ARE DIFFERENT.  There is no question in this.  For anyone that has one that has the courage to test one, pinch it near the end and slwloy pull apart, as though you were going to create a small tear.  The note will not tear (unless you pull very hard), and it will resume it's shape, but with obvious rippling, like when you stretch a plastic material, and then bring it back into shape.
Regular paper on the other hand will tear.  Just one more thing to add to the differences.

Brent, I think these would be worthy of some further testing if you have the resources.

Huds

Brent will be getting his notes VERY soon!  8-)

As Huds has noted I also have tried to tear the note in the corner and was unable to.  

Also, as a note.... No other Low Serial HOW notes have yet to surface anywhere. In fact we are well into HOY and even HOZ now.  :-/

These "Test" notes are now all but impossible to get now. There are so few of them available the demand for the notes are extremely high.  

I did receive my notes a week or so back now.  I haven't put it to any tests yet, but hope to on Sunday.  They really do feel different, but I will do as many tests that I know how to.  I will report my findings here when done.

Tom

Pretty Cool 8-)

If you have one that you have already tried to tear, Tom, try to slowly stretch it between your fingertips, like slowly stretching a shopping bag with your fingertips.  Paper notes will split, these did not. They actually stretched (like plastic!).

Yes, I am anxious to see how this develops.

I'm curious as to whether anyone has tried weighing one of these notes? Unfortunately I don't have access to a good jewelers scale with multiple decimal points. I'm curious if there is a difference probably not in the tenths, but perhaps in the hundredths of a gram between these notes and a regular note.

Here is what you do about that.  Go to your freindly neighborhood post master, and just toss them on the scale. A full bundle of 100.  Then toss on a regular bundle of $5s.  Those scales are very accurate, the ones they measure letter weight on.
Anyone who has a bundle of these HOW's should try that.  I went and saw them-- they are heavier in my opinion, but it may be from what I sensed as static electricity drag.

It is true that is the differences are the way we are speculating, that the charges built up through friction from note to note, would be different to some degree. When I felt them, and moved them around, I felt a stronger feild that what I had felt with regular $5s.   At risk of sounding like a wacko, this is one of the main differences that I could sense when I handled them.

Do you practice reiki by any chance Hudson?

 

You mean I can use HOW Notes to power my Computer???  

Found HOW0524163 today in montreal.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

first find VERY NEAR the possible test range

I quote that post from the $ 5 high/low thread on HOW

As noted....

This is not one of my notes. I never got any 0.524 range notes.

My Lowest Note was 0520000 so this note is right in the middle of my notes.  :-/

One thing that has been noticed about the test notes....

SMELL THEM!!!  

Regular Notes smell like.... Well.... New Money. These Test Notes smell like an old Rubber Ball. Not a very nice smell actually. This is one of the definite tests for any of these Test Notes.  8-)

Hi all...
1.  I bet they still smell better than new US money (y-u-c-k)
2.  Cam, you could create a friction machine, somehow with the function similar to two tiny paint machines, shaking the notes tightly pressed to eachother, and then having some sort of channel for the energy flow into your power cord on the computer (somehow).  It would be as effective as lets say... and excercise bike that powers a TV. (Just when you want to relax lol )
3. Manny, I sent you a PM.  I have been thru a bit of this and that in that kind of stuff. One night Brent and I stayed up on MSN discussing astrophysics and the like, in relation to that kind of stuff. Like wow!


Now, test note related...
4. I have found HOW 0.8 I think, and it was not the same as the test notes, I am positive.

5. I have another post somewhere in here about one member's ability to nail down the numbers on a sheet, from inputting on number into a graph of sorts.  I do not remember who has it, if you know, please let me know. please!

6. I decided to write in point form because it is a little more easytodistinguishwhereanewideastartsandends.

7.  As said, I am really interested to see what will happen regarding these notes at the CNA.

Take care all,
Huds

Cam,
