Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 02/20/2012 12:08 am i know you can return 51% of a bill and get face value, can you return 2 twoonie halfs and get $4? Report this Post to the Staff
aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 02/20/2012 12:45 am You may remember that when the toonie was introduced in 1996 there was an initial problem with the centre coming loose. I have one which went into a coin counting machine as one piece and came out in two pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
wwbbs New Member Canada 5 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 07:18 am Not sure which bank you deal with but the practice of bringing back half a bill was stopped long ago. At least in Ontario. It used to be as long as the 1 copy of the serial number was intact you would get your money back. Last time I returned half a bill for half it's value was in the late 1980's early 1990's. Perhaps it is in response to the increased ease of counterfeiting a bill/note if you only need to copy the half with the least amount of security. Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 08:30 am I found a toonie ring (no center) a week ago. It was really beaten up like someone was trying hard to get the center out. Report this Post to the Staff

timnic44 Pillar of the Community Canada 535 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 6:53 pm I have never found just an outer ring. Found the middles and one that had the middle part way out ( someone had popped it and then put it back and spent it). I still have it, pushed the center out with my fingers and now have each piece in a 2X2. Report this Post to the Staff
