My neighbour picked up 40 HPAs from the Bank a few days ago and before that she received HONs and HOUs. I can't see if there so many new 2002 $5s still being released that the BOC would withdraw them before they're worn out. $5s usually don't seem to be a big priority, but in 12-18 months you won't find too many of the old style in circulation anymore. However like the $1s and $2s many will be set aside because more can afford to do so.
Today I received 22 C.U. HOU $5s but they weren't entirely in sequential order!
The notes have run HOU9918379-9918402. Missing are: 18382 & 18388. Could that indicate someone just pulled them or that there were insert notes in that pile? My apologies if I'm adding a topic that doesn't apply.
