Rare Notes (Bank Or Large Runs Finds)

My favourite:

You found those 2 notes HB? Great finds if you did.

I actually found that 9696969 from a run of notes withdrawn from the bank. Ultimately, my best find (2 digit repeater, radar and rotator).

On a side note: I just met a collector at the recent RCNA grading workshop who pulled a commemorative "150" ten with the exact same number. I almost drooled when she showed me (& she said "no" it wasn't for sale).

Hmmm, me thinks 8080808 iz one too?

Howz zbout all theze?

0008000
0088800
0800080
0880880
0888880
8000008
8008008
8088808
8800088
8880888

2 digit repeaterz/radarzz/rotatorzzz....

Prefix-kix, I thank you.
You are correct in your assessment and I should have been more careful and specific.
I hastily put together a list and should have taken more time to double check before I posted my reply.
I now realize I've made a couple of errors or omissions.
I hope the list below is correct and more understandable

0008000 = AAABAAA = 0008-000 - repeats after the fourth number.
0080800 = AABABAA = 00808-00 - repeats after the fifth number.
0088800 = AABBBAA = 00888-00 - repeat after the fifth number.
0800080 = ABAAABA = 0800-080 - repeat after the fourth number.
0808080 = ABABABA = 08-08-08-0 - repeats after the second number.
0880880 = ABBABBA = 088-088-0 - repeats after the third number.
0888880 = ABBBBBA = 088888-0 - repeats after the sixth number.
8000008 = BAAAAAB = 800000-8 - repeats after the sixth number.
8008008 = BAABAAB = 800-800-8 - repeats after the third number.
8080808 = BABABAB = 80-80-80-8 - repeats after the second number.
8088808 = BABBBAB = 8088-808 - repeats after the fourth number.
8800088 = BBAAABB = 88000-88 - repeats after the fifth number.
8808088 = BBABABB = 88080-88 - repeats after the fifth number.
8880888 = BBBABBB = 8880-888 - repeats after the fourth number.

All of these are two digit radar/rotator serial numbers.
However they are not all repeaters with a two digit cycle as only 0808080 & 8080808 are repeaters with a two digit cycle such as the serial number (9696969) in the post to which I was replying.
I apologize to all for any misinformation in the original reply.
In conclusion there are 14.
This is how I understand what I've read but if I'm in error again please by all means correct me.

Cheers, Bill

I made the correction to my earlier post.
I'm all for a treat, this Hounddog likes beer.

Still a low number - nice find! I rarely find these (below 1000) and have kept every one of them (unless they've got graffiti or are heavily soiled).

My first post shows the BSW for the twenties (it is very tough to find in any grade).
For other tough polymer (Frontiers) prefixes
Go to the thread: Reporting Recent Prefixes
http://goccf.com/t/319056

and find the table I inserted on page 1. It shows both change-overs (c) and short prefixes (s).

You must be also aware that some signature change-overs (meaning the signature has changed) are quite common (like the FTH $10 Macklem/Poloz) and that the Charlton Canadian Government Paper Money catalogue hasn't caught up to this fact (as they list the common M/P FTH $10 change-over with a higher BV). The Macklem/Carney FTH $10 is extremely rare and tough to find. I've searched tens of thousands of tens and found one.

The same can be said for the Macklem/Carney AMK (& to a lesser extent the GHD) $50. Last year, the guide caught up to the fact that the $100 EKZ is short but I've never seen one (& again the BV very conservative). I have search thousands of this denomination and haven't found one.

Tough (but not impossible) polymer prefixes also include the $20 Wilkins/Poloz FVP (& to a lesser extent the non-commemorative FWW). Plus the CDF of the "150" commemorative $10 can be tough to find as well. I know no tough prefixes for the polymer five. I have found a few of each in circulated condition.

Good luck!

-You're quite welcomed.

Although data is still being received by the Canadian Paper Money Forum (CPMF) Serial Number Data Base (SNDB) only small ranges of notes are usually discovered on these short change-overs (or short prefixes). Macklem/Carney GHD $50 is another case in point with very few found in a very low number range and quite a few more found in the higher # range.

Also see the thread on:

My post on the FTH Macklem/Carney $10 (to give you an idea of the serial number range you're looking for). Most FTH tens have serial numbers that are higher than 8.4M
