this hurts

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Today's "so close but so far"

AMA 3998998

I'm really tempted to take a little black pen and make that 3 and 8! :-D

Someone said that there is a way to take out the ink from numbers. Can you not take out the first half of 8

LOL... id much rather add ink and make it a soild 8s note =p

good idea...

I will argue with anyone who says this forum isn't very helpful

Just think water.... for all those disappointments you've come across, when you finally do score a solid you may be walking around like priapus for a week ...

I hope I never end up like priapus (for a day- let alone a week!)  I have never expected a solid.  But I will settle for a 2 digit, a change-over, or error

What happens is I so often come across notes that come right up to the point of being a radar and then the # jump by 100,000 or multiple of 10,000 in a bad way so no cigar.

Yeah that would be a huge let down...

My disapointments for today include:

BIH 7474726 -so close and yet so far

BIG 7994977

and finally

7744777

slap chop!

This find of mine makes me wish that 1's didn't have serifs

BTZ 1988861

I'm calling it a Poor Man's Rotator  and I'll hang on to it just as a novelty

Yesterday went to the Metro to do a quick grocery for my mother in law... I see the boss giving new 5$ to the casher so I ask Interact + redraw of 10$ (to get 2x 5$)... I get in my car... here's the serial number : HPP 9696983 and 9696984 ... I wanted so bad 9696969 so I go back inside but her bundle started at 9696971 ... !!! I was not happy

I've always thought that if 8s count, so should 1s.  The serif on the 1 is not that much different than the difference in size of the loops on the top and bottom of the 8s.

I almost came across a BIG $20 Ladder Note.  Literally big!  Almost thought I caught the true big one.

 

Here is a $20 I got today.

Found this yesterday. {http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/5357/imageevw.jpg:http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/5357/imageevw.th.jpg}

My son brought me 20, $5 and in them was a HAB 4567890.  That didn't hurt.

Close but no cookie.

Cheers, Bill

DANG!! I would've lost it and probably taken as much money as they would allow me at the ATM in hopes that I would get that ladder....

*sigh* I feel your pain Hounddog (Bill)
