Nice find @denny7000.
That is the HBG Macklem-Carney signature change-over below 3,619,999.
It is a tougher one to find in good condition.
Charlton shows $15 UNC, $20 CH UNC and $25 GEM UNC.

 @Enyaw Nobody is certain how many of the 3,619,999 were actually released (& they were only released in small batches from certain distribution centres). They were also released over a year after the introduction (like in 2014 or 2015). It was all very strange but speculation is that the # of bricks that were printed were likely kept/stored at the back of the vaults. It's the only Macklem-Carney signature for the FIVE & I have sold a few Gems for 3-4X FV. Keep it in a currency sleeve. Edited by walk2dwater

Comments on condition If you found it in a book that means it's been pressed. Most people don't like that happening to paper banknotes. It affects the condition negatively. I don't know how they feel about pressed polymer but I imagine they don't like them squished and squashed either. Quote:

I'll need to go back through the books in my personal library... In the past I've found (very) old receipts and a magazine flyer from the mid 70s. Currency would be cool.

@Hunter... no, I mean I'm clowning around... obviously Wayne Gretzky wasn't the Prime Minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911... sorry, no offense intended... I thought your answer was funny.
