Great looking notes! Love mismatched serial numbers.
I have a $20 1954 modified note that my dad passed on to me, which is pretty special.

I decided to get the other 2 notes graded. I sent them in a few weeks ago and received them back yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Fantastic submissions & results    Congratulations @Canada67!  |

I have now documented at least 15 H/O error notes that have survived extinction. The lowest mismatched serial number I have seen with an H/O prefix ends in 2033 and the highest is 2961. If you want a real challenge now, figure out which one of the serial numbers is the error. Quote:the best site for CDN currency is undoubtedly: https://cdnpapermoney.com/forum/They actually started their Serial Number Data Base for the purpose of tracking the double-denomination revised 2005 $10 note (a Ten made with the watermark/security thread $20 paper) I remember this was one of the times I liked something so much that I searched tons of circulated $10 banknotes. I didn't find one though but while I was looking through them I was reading the serial numbers on the lookout for a radar or something simple I wasn't expecting any solids, ladders or millions. As I was going through a stack of tens I found this banknote and actually started to pass by it and chuckled thinking to myself, "ha ha that one's serial numbers didn't match". Then just as quick I thought," WAIT A SECOND!!! that one's serial numbers didn't match!"  |

Then just as quick I thought," WAIT A SECOND!!! that one's serial numbers didn't match!" WOW! That is an amazing find @Hunter And BTW, I did the same (searched thousands of TENS) hoping to snag that elusive "double-denomination" (BTW or BTU printed on $20 paper) error but never finding anything. I was also on the look out for the short BTV prefix & found 1 raggedy example. And then I got a solid 8 radar $5.00 note in Lotto change (also a little better than a rag).  That stopped me cold from searching any more bundles. I just thought, hey, if I can't find anything searching thousands-upon-thousands & then one finds its way into my hands by random chance, I guess the odds are just too crazy against me!

I understand completely. Finding the mismatched serial number was a nice surprise for me but I would have much preferred finding what I was looking for, the double denomination error. All those 10's I searched from bank withdrawals and not finding the double denomination error or any BTV's and then I bought gas one day and the guy hands me this for my change.  "It's better to be lucky than smart." |

Sometimes, it clearly does "pay to use cash" (especially if you're a collector!) That's a fantastic BTV to get in change (great condition too!) I didn't get this in change but it was a small $100 cash withdrawal & one of the five $20.00 notes happened to be this one:  |

Fantastic! & Nice! An ultra low serial number! It sure is. Very true. But were you banging your head against a wall thinking, " WHY COULDN'T IT BE NUMBER 1?!!!" |
