HOV Replacement Notes???

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

I recently received 4 Bricks delivered from the Bank of Canada.

I found no different prefixes within the bricks.  What I did find were HOV notes ending in 605 and 606 just prior to the notes ending in 500, and 105 and 106 notes just prior to notes ending in 1000.   Example HOV2282500 had notes HOV2282605 and HOV2282606 preceding it and note HOV 2283000 had notes HOV2283105 and HOV2283106 preceding it.  This pattern was consistent throughout the Bricks.  Any ideas?  Are these potential inserts?  I realize this is not the norm, but if you look at the Highs and Lows list you will note that no HOV replacements have been identified.

Look forward to any insight.

Very Interesting...

Sounds like a POSSIBLE Insert... It is the correct spot for HOV....  

The out of sequence notes are most probably 2 sheets pulled from the ream to be checked and then placed back into the top of the ream.

Sudzee is right.  These notes are dubbed QCIN for Quality Control Insert Notes and don't have any premium value since these notes are fairly commonly found in bricks.

Yes, these are not inserts. They are QCINs
Note:
QCIN is the acronym for "Quality Control Inspection Note"

The excerpt from the BOC email mentions shuffled notes as well.

oops...

Sorry, Didn't notice how close the serials were....  

Yes, these would be "QCIN". Sometime you will find a couple of these ALSO with a few Inserts.

Thanks everyone for your insightful comments.  A strange fact I didn't mention, these bricks bundled by the Bank of Canada, plastic sealed and white strapped were not in the typical sequential order.  In fact the HOV228 series was predominant but I also found stacks of HOV226 and HOV229 scattered throughout.  Cheers Saxmanbrass

I have never had a brick like that

Is that a single brick of $ 1000 Notes

Does the white strapping damage the notes at the top and bottom of the pile

I just looked at the pile a little clsoer. I guess thats 4 bricks for $ 4,000

It looks like 4000 notes ( 20K )

Yes, 4000 notes.  If you look closely at the picture you will see that the Bricks did not start with conventional numbers.  It is a strange lot for sure.  I returned most to the bank yesterday and kept 100 notes for the future.  I will attempt one more batch over the coming weeks.  Cheers Saxmanbrass

Hi, the CBN (Canadian Bank Note Company) has been supplying notes mixed like this since the new tens came out in May (2005) - or around then.  Since then, the $5s have now followed suit and so have the $20s. Not sure about the $50s or $100s though, but I will find out soon enough.

But there is nothing out of the ordinary with this lot of notes as far as numbering goes.  The BABN - well those are a different story so far.

Your $5s are CBN.
Good luck with your next bricks.
