JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 5:05 pm The prefix is "GOG" The 0 is part of the quantity printed. This was part of 100,000 Test Notes printed. Don't know how many survived but according to Charlton, Geoffrey Bell sold one at auction in 2012 for $23,000. A rare bird indeed. Edited by JimmyD 05/24/2018 5:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 5:45 pm Cool note, thanks for sharing! Any reason why this particular prefix doesn't show up on the CoinsandCanada website? Is it because it's a test note? http://www.coinsandcanada.com/bankn...8&id_denom=5 Report this Post to the Staff
polymer New Member Canada 20 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 5:53 pm This GOG note is NOT a test note printed on the Luminus hybrid substrate, it is a regular note. The range of test notes is GOG 0100000-0199999 (100,000 notes). The serial shown above is just outside of this range. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 6:20 pm Your right polymer, Don't know how I missed that. I even looked at the range of the numbers. Sorry SPP, you will have to tell your friend that he has the regular $5.00 bill with the GOG prefix. Not worth much above face value. There were 9.9 million of these printed.
