canadacoinguy Valued Member Canada 146 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 1:12 pm It's a good guess and maybe its what happened to them. I'm wondering why the bank even held on to them? They must not check the rolls when customers bring them in. I mean, who would want to handle them? lol. Report this Post to the Staff
