GREEN bands on bundles in new bricks?

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I have a new brick where all the bundles are wrapped each in a green and white band with BANK OF CANADA written on the band as well as a BOC followed by 17 digit number. Has anyone seen this before?

Was the brick sealed in plastic wrap and have a white band around all 10 bundles ?

What is the prefix for the brick and did you find any replacements ?

I will be going through it tonite or tomorrow no white band on all 10 1 large rubber band. Shrink wrapped is plastic but heavy duty not like normally are with thin plastic. and almost air tight seal
PREFIX AOM so far AOM INSERT AND AOK INSERT

Were the AOM replacements placed between the 000 and 001 notes and from the range AOM (0483000 - 0484000) ?

yes but it is AOM0480017 (just one) not in that range you gave but the AOK further in the bundle.

Mike,

Once you have had a chance to go through the brick in detail, please post the results in the Insert and
Replacements section.  It appears that you have found additional AOM single note replacements similar
to the ones found in the AOM (0.483M - 0.484M) range.  This will probably result in the expansion of that
AOM range or the creation of a new AOM SNR range.

I will contact Gilles Pomerleau once you post the details from your brick and pass on your brick information.

For additional information on similar replacement note finds in bricks of this kind see the following post:

Let me get this straight.  There were no white  plastic band keeping the 10 bundles together, , but there were individual green bands on the bundle of 100 notes. 

There was no thick  paper band that kept  the 10 bundles together?

The notes that the  SNR came from that I recieved were not bundled at all in individual bundles of 100.  Just 1000 notes with two plastic bands around the notes litterally squishing the notes.  There was no plastic.

I reciently received a brick in the heavy plastic wrapping.  The notes were also AOM but they were  in 10 bundles.  No replacements or inserts.

Cheers

as I said each 100 notes in green wrapper with boc stamp and 17 digit code # but all 10 bundles in one rubber band and all shrinkwrapped very thick plastic

BRICKS ARE CONSECUTIVE
BRICK #1 IS GREEN BANDED BRICK #2 IS WHITE BANDED AS USUAL
HOPE THIS EXPLAINS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT

*********!!!!!

These green bands are put on notes that HAVE BEEN looked at/ tampered with.

Perhaps by a BoC person, I dont know.    BUT, the brick MIGHT not be able to be considered "virgin".

YES. I have seen these green bands before from BoC.

We need to know that this brick wasnt screwed around with by someone at a higher level, even a bank- and then had a green BoC band slipped arounf the 100.   WE DON'T KNOW.

My post is to highlight that caution needs to be excercised!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the picture Mike

I know the bank I picked it up at said the notes came in that way and were sealed in the bag. I always accept the bag without EVER counting them and accept any loss if any, so they agree never to touch it or count it. I get it exactly the way they received it.
So the question is ,are the inserted notes I found worth keeping?
I will keep them since only $5 face (it won't break me) so I guess I just have to wait and see what else turns up.
I went through the brick that was banded in white and NO inserts.
Anyways I will start going through the green banded brick later tonite

Hey Mike.  Don't get rid of it.  This is all new to everyone.  Just wait and see.  Hey save me one of the green strappings.  Never seen them before.
