I found in circulation an ANU Journey $5 note from the lasting impressions set. The note was in the Lasting Impression range of notes. It's obviously not worth anything but has anyone else found any of these in circulation?

This may have been stolen and then spent. I found a silver 25 cent piece that came from 1992 commemorative set in change once.

Ya, I agree it was most likely stolen and spent or maybe a child found his father's set and bought some candy with it ;D

The lasting impressions sets sell so poorly, that the notes are often spent. I have spend many from the $10 sets.

Ironically, I just found an BEH6452770 in EF from the Lasting Impressions set today at a bank.

I'll buy some of the lasting Impressions sets from you at face!!

Are you going to circulate the BEH manada? Not sure what to do with mine yet, I know it's not worth anything but it is just so hard to throw any note back into circulation.

With 50,000 sets printed, I wonder over time how many will make it into circulation, or destruction. I guess I'll burn mine since it's the cool thing to do these days. ;)



On second thought maybe I'll just buy some candy with it! :)

On the lasting impression sets, many dealers consider them a dead loss, however, I use the 1989 10 in sets, the newer note has no value to me except as face, thus I spend it. I do the same thing to worn or tattered notes of any year. I suspect I have spent several hundred dollars face in 1937 and 1954 notes over the past couple of years. One of the beauties of bank notes is the lowest value is face. I do not sell any such notes mentioned in the previous posts except at shows or eBay as this is a violation of the sites rules.
