Makes me wonder if they were used as some type of internal testing & then a few were accidentally (or intentionally) released into circulation. I also wonder why the rare ones were done like this. A few denominations in this series have rare prefixes with the 499, 999, etc. serial numbers. Has anyone ever come across an article about why this was done? That's a really nice example, Walk2dwater! |

Has anyone ever come across an article about why this was done? I'm also wondering if the Bank of Canada or printing companies used asterisks to identify something other than simple replacements. I don't think the Bank of Canada would take much notice if a few banknote collectors inquired about them but maybe a respected publisher like the Charlton Press might have more luck. Maybe we could get Charlton interested in solving the mystery. |

Nice note. I'm sure the back is much more telling. Do you have a photo to share with us ?

They're all very pretty but I especially appreciate the *D/O & *I/O replacements |

I picked up another replacement note on the weekend. The population on this one is 240,000, so it's not particularly rare, but it is a decent grade, so I am happy with it.   |
