But, one of the bill's serials was this: NX 57 67 040, with small spacings as in previous. Can anyone tell me anything about this? Like is this theequvalent to our star notes? I thought Canadian notes were always XXX1234567... Report this Post to the Staff

WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 01:19 am Canadian notes up to the mid-80s had a two letter prefix. Replacement notes were shown by the serial number being preceded by an asterisk (eg: *LP1974833). Around December or January of 1986 is when I first recalled seeing serial numbers with a three letter prefix, assumably because they had exhaused all two letter number combinations. From that time on, replacement notes were shown by the use of the letter X as the third letter in the prefix (eg: BBX9823398). In regard to your two letter note, I appreciate that it may look as though there are spaces between the numbers, but there isn't -- that's just the font style of the numbers that were used in this series.
