GREEN bands on bundles in new bricks?

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Sounds like rejects from another searcher or a branch just putting together a bundle from what is sitting around. 

Agreed with Cam.  Out here in our neck of the woods, often a bank gets a "bricker's residual" -- the leftover notes from a new brick. Then they get jammed together to form a new bundle. 

Point is, they are not "new".

Happens all the time-- those new brick notes haveto go somewhere!!   

We have been told in the past that the printers do not keep records on replacements used. I do believe, though, that the BoC will document the notes they use as replacements and eventually that info will find its's way to us.

I am all over this

The stickers on the 4-brick bags are the key. They go upwards in number as printing moves on. Meaning, there is a recorded history of every batch of 4 bricks that gets sent out in a bag.

I will be commenting on this when I have it prepped properly.

BUT-- it will squeeze out confirmation of replacement notes.  It should, anyway.

The bundle had a sealed BOC rapper .I don't think it was  a "bricker's residual"
 or something the bank put together.
