Nice note Elwood.  Haven't seen one of those before.

Thanks M, yes it is very different. This is one I could not pass up as I love the $50 notes.

a BABN Beattie-Coyne 1954 $1.00 note - H/M 2292183 in what I would describe as "Gem Unc" condition (or Unc as defined by IBNS but with perfect margins, embossing, etc.) for $30.00 at the Regina Show.  I looked for this note at shows for a number of years and was always outbid when the note appeared on eBay.  Purchased from the same dealer who sold me 4 of these notes in sequence at the Spring Show.  From the same run but several notes away from the other 4.  A keeper.

I have a friend at a bank who save some turned in notes for me. Yesterday he gave me

FDT 4519228 - UNC60
FDT 4519257 - UNC60

FDT 4988471 - UNC63+
FDT 4988467 - UNC63+

Pretty neat, the very first Journey $ 10 Prefix. And I only came back to collecting in the last few years so I don't have them.

I just purchased 6 1975 $100, at face value from the bank(where my wife works).  (see listing at the 'trading post').

and within the last month or so, got 2 SNR $5 from work.  (at a gas station were I still work the occasional weekend shift for extra spending cash, and the occasional "bonus money" like these).  These two circulated notes will be on a well known auction site soon.

Just matched a consecutive set of Radars;

APA 8866688     BTA 8866688
APA 8867688     BTA 8867688

If anyone has the $20 EZA, I can be interested.

Dei Gratia Huds mon!

I thought that was rather "strange" - that purchase pattern... hmmm.. well glad I could help.

I have made you a MILLIONAIRE!   Now you owe me a lunch!  haha!  Kiddin. Glad I could help. :-)

see pic, it's a shame that it's circulated

Hi,

Today, a teller friend of mine let me look through all of the banknotes he was going to return to the BOC.

I chose to take:
1 Birds $1000 EKA2228667 EF
10 1979 $5 (They're spenders but it's my favourite multicoloured note)
10 1973 $1
2 1954 $1 (Modified)
4 1974 $2

There were many I had to leave behind 
Sometimes you hit the jackpot.

Cheers,
Dean

That's awesome. :-)

Nice finds. 

It really pays to have a friend or "in" at the bank. You just never know what you'll find. Remember though, it doesn't hurt to reward their patience with a treat occasionally. Two dozen doughnuts goes a long way

Personally ...I think my presence at the bank is reward enough

see pic, it's a shame that it's circulated

   I'm still interested in buying this one from you, to go with my AOZ10 - BPZ00 , that I recently purchased from the trading post. Before you decide to list it on "that well known site" please send me a PM . Thanks, Rob

Note: A card with some well thought out thoughts will go even farther.

Someone who was on the inside once told me.....

Coffee and donuts -- in particular -- are "flags" that someone might be trying to swoon the bankers to get standards relaxed (so of course they could commit something awful).


Thus the recommendation of the card.... with some honest thankful thoughts.
