Several weeks ago, I had a conversation with my manager and she revealed that she used to collect coins, but not very much. I asked her to look out for older coins, and she saved me a 1961 nickel, which was nice. Yesterday I found a 1959 silver dime in a coworker's till! I showed my manager the dime so she can identify silver when she counts tills.  |

Rescued these little orphaned notes, including a 1937 $1 note. Got them from a local RBC branch in Vancouver. The friendly bank teller told me she received these notes a few days ago from a customer who took them in for deposit.  [/URL] |

Thats a nice pick up , what was the face value. They would have been destroyed by BOC. Looks like they are in good condition too.

The FV was $146. Many of $2 bird series notes are UNC, and some of the $1 1973 series are also UNC. The 1973 series $2 many are EF/AU, the $5 notes are EF/AU.
The 1937 $1 would grade G. All those years, and just worth $1 today. Could have done a lot with that dollar back in the 1940's

 Great rescue on those notes! And the 1958 nickel, too! I'm really starting to wonder how rare the Macklem/Carney $5 polymer bills are. I just received another one from a customer at work yesterday. Perhaps the Bank of Canada decided to release them or something. Edit: Too lazy to post another picture. Slightly worse shape than the previous one I got, with the usual 3 vertical folds as well as 2 small corner folds. Numbers aren't special either: HBG0256885. Still keeping because they're uncommon.

Ya I was kind of disappointed after looking so hard to find a M/C 5$ note and then to find three in two days. They will still be a little rare but I don't think as rare as people first thought. Glad I didn't put out big money to get one, mine are face and have little risk.

Transferred $4000 between banks in $100, $50, and $20 bills. Found two UNC $100s that were pretty close to replacement notes  , but then an actual $50 sheet replacement note  . No interesting serial numbers, but a close call was FIP 7828587. FMT 1.920M - 1.960M  Middle range of EF. A couple vertical folds and several flicks. Out of the many $50s, this was one of the best.  This is my second sheet replacement from the frontier series. $50 isn't too cheap, though. Edited by Shoeplier

Although I don't have a photo of it, in about 2009 at a McDonalds in Vancouver, I got a 1922 penny (VG cleaned) in my change. I couldn't believe my eyes. Thinking back on it, I wonder what else was in the till?

I dod not know if this is worthy of posting here but please forgive the newbie. I found this in some change a few years ago and kept it. I think it is pretty neat.   |

Just picked up this new Birthday Note from the Bank. Only problem is I don't know anyone born Sept. 5th 1978. Maybe I will just spend it.  |
