Just found  an unusual $100 with a clipped top left corner and a blurred serial number.

I would suggest that the blur is the result of a chemical stain. In fact, it would be interesting to conduct a scientific study to determine the effects of various corrosive chemicals on paper money ..... nitric acid, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, turpentine, Javex, lacquer removers, paint strippers, etc. I'm pretty sure that some chemicals would do major damage to the printed design, and some may even dissolve the paper too ...

To me, it appears as though there was a petrolium based spot that ended up on the paper- perhaps a dripped grease from an overhead maching while the paper was being fed through for its initial/secondary print run?

Or, one of the workeers was snacking on his KFC while doing quality control inspection on the streaming paper, and he leaned over and, well, you know how greasy that chicken is... some dropped.

Nice find Squid,....time for a road trip...

Hi all! A few months ago at the RBC branch in St. Marys, Ont my friend had a pile of about 30 1969 $20 and 20 1971 $10. I searched through and found a 1969 $20 *WL in VF-EF and also a 1971 $10 with *TG. From what I've been reading in this forum, *WL and *TG are very rare! I'm going to post a picture of them. Thanks.

Sorry but i seem to be having problems putting up the images of the notes. The file is under 75KB and is a JPEG file. It will say that the "Upload File" is full. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I have cleared out a bunch of old attachments, so you should be able to post it now.

Generally speaking however, I do recommend using ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.us) as they have permanent image retention, and they produce handy thumbnails for use on forums that you can click on to see the larger scan. There is no size restriction like we have here. Also, it saves on our bandwidth usage :-)

Here are the pics that i promised. First is the $20.


And the 1971 $10. Thanks!


I'm just wondering what grades these notes would be assigned. I'm only a junior collector. My guess is that the $20 is VF+- EF and the 10 would be also be VF. I also had an idea for having a registry for 1969 $20 *WL because i haven't heard at all a *WL arising at an auction, or seen one at a dealer. Thanks, Multicolorama.

Cashed a check for $1800 cash. Asked for $360 (had to wait for it too) in $10's. Only found that the 4 $5's I got were new, but not consecutive. Not even the $100 were new!! The last three digits of two of the $5's were 210 1nd 201? I also found a F grade FER insert.

Wow, so many great finds here! I still haven't found anything.

I certainly will miss my job as a cashier...

If your a cashier can take the good notes you find (million numbered, Radar's, Rotors?) If you pay for them of course!

Depends on where you work and your boss- It took me a year before he would let me replace notes in the till- it can be a HUGE trust issue for employers to see you removing cash from the till.

I will miss the cashier job but my new job working with PCs will let me buy more notes due to better pay

Since I am only 14 I am looking for my first job! And I was thinking about being a cashier so I would see a lot of notes in a day, and hopefully find a nice Radar, ladder, million numbered note, rotator, replacement or something like that!
