Birth year notes

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

To be a birth year note does the serial number reflect a day month and year or just the year.
I have a bundle of BTC5651900-1999 UNC ($5 journeys). Do they have a value?

Also 5651800-5651899 For you more mature collecters

  Birth year note has to have all zeros in front of the 1900. Yours is not a birth year note.
This was established about four weeks ago and confirmed by Charlton's book N7.
It also does not qualify for the bith year, month, day because of the 56.

Thank you for the information.  It is appreciated

Having asked this same question before, with never getting a satisfactory answer. If a person was born in July 24, 1970, What is the birth year note to say?

BIRTHDAY notes--July 24 1970--should read in my opinion, 1970(year) 5(month) 24(day).  It also can read, year followed by day and month, the reverse if your numbers are correct.

Since they are really hard to find anyway, I would take any method of arranging the date.

IS there a right answer?  
Does there have to be?  

YES---I agree.  TOM

This is the way I see it a "birthyear" note 0001970

A "birthday" note would be 7241974 or any combination =  July 24, 1970

Here is a link to the thread where this was discussed in detail.

Hi Rick, A few members took the time to answer your question and I posted a link as well.

Is this satisfactory to you?

The only one that makes any sense at all is 0001937, which is a year note preceded by 0's.
Hardly anything more than a birth year note, the rest have no order to be anything at all.

July 24, 1970 should be 1970724, or July 24, 1957 should be 1957724, not any combination of numbers that are similar in any order.

We need an order, such as year, month, day: or something that others can recognize as orderly. No big deal.
I did buy my sister in law a royal bank note that had her birth year as the last 4 digits. She works for the royal bank, so it meant something to her.

Rick

rscoins, the only problem with a standard order is that there really is no standard order.

Everyone who has cheque blanks....

On business cheques, it goes DD-MM-YYYY
On personal cheques, it goes MM-DD-YYYY
Or something like that. The point is, they are consistently not the same.  

Here is the ISO 8601 for date and time international standard. http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/popstds/datesandtime.html

I even sometimes use YYYY-MM-DD when writing a date. Back in school, I'd even use roman numerals (ie: XXIX-III-MMVII).

That said, when it comes to birthYEAR notes, the standard is 000YYYY (ie: A/A 0001956). When it comes to birthDAY notes, I'll take whatever combination works (ie: for March 29, 3292007, 2007293, 2932007, 2007329), although I generally find putting the year in the middle (ie: 3200729) is a little strange.

I would prefer the way I say it when asked Janurary 31st 1962 = 1311962 but I would accept 3111962 or 1962131 or 1962311

Here is a scan of my birthDAY note, Thanks Punky's Dad

You were born on September 62nd, in 1311?  

You were born on September 62nd, in 1311?  

No no... He was born on the 2nd day of the 13th month of the year 1196. Jeez...

You're both wrong...he hasn't even been born yet.  His birthday is June 19th, 2311.  He's a time traveller who placed his order 300-odd years before his birthday.  The early bird gets the worm, you know  

ok I think this birthday thing is my fault.   I started this crazy search 2 years ago.  Yes you  all know the date.  May 21 2005

I regard the birthyear note or any special day note as within the 7 numbers you can have that special date.  

eg.  May 21 2005
5212005  Month/day/year
2152005  day month/year
2005521  year month day
2005215  year day month

really streaching it is
2120055
5200521

A birth note is
0002005

So would you regard 2005000 as a birth note?

The value is to have anyone who has a special date to have that note.  It works as a cheap Christmas present or gift to  mark that special day. Maybe not real numismatic value but a lot of value to the person that recieves it.

By the way, does anyone have any true birth notes example: 1987,1924 etc.etc.

Cheers

What about those poor individuals with birthday's such as NOV 15th 1986 (like this one here) Some messed up Birthdays

Unless i can get one that says NOV151986(missing digit) = Error NOTE* Otherwise I'll never have a Birthday note
