Just wanted to know and understand.
Great questions (& attitude) 'luckyrollers' & welcome to the CDN paper forum.
The best, & easiest, place to start is to check this recent thread on
signatures:
http://goccf.com/t/387364Most
CDN prefixes are 10M large so when there's a new signature then that's presents a change-over signature prefix. New
BOC governors (or deputies) provide these 'opportunities' where one can find the "short-end of the stick" prefix (the one with 2-3M or less) which will be much more collectible than full (10M) prefixes.
$10 FME of the new 2018 series is an example.
The
BOC has stopped the practice of issuing insert-replacements & will instead create short prefixes since the printers will have an order for X Million number of notes but they will remove several hundred thousand from a number of prefixes leaving the last prefix short. This happened for the 2015 $20 (FWW) & the 2017 $10 (CDF) (for both commemoratives). More info can be found here:

Here are some notes members found out of circulation:

Good luck & happy hunting!
