Hi!

On 7th November 2012, the Bank of Canada began circulating the new $20 bills now printed on a polymer substrate.

This note being the most used banknote in Canada (over the half of bills in circulation in Canada are $20 ones), I expect to soon find some. Interested members can contact me. ;)

Hello,

Well they are worth $20. Canada is switching to polymer banknotes, so this will be our normal $20. I am going to the bank tomorrow hopefully going to get my first one.

Regards

Is it just me or have you guys noticed that these notes really stink? Aside from that smell, the designs are nice.
Hi!

I went at the bank on Saturday and unfortunately I got only two... x.

They have both the same prefix - BIU - which is one of the prefixes distributed here in the region of Montreal I suppose.

Could Canadian members who get the new $20 give me the prefix(es) they have? I would like to "map" the new prefixes... 0:)

I know it may seems strange, but it's an interesting way to know where and "how" the new series is distributed throughout the country! ;)

Got 5 sequential numbers at the bank this morning starting from BIK8575964... in Maple, ON
How many notes in sequence do you want? I can usually get 50 or 100 in sequence at my local bank.
I'm sure in Toronto there's all sorts of different serial numbers, but I got a sequence starting with BIK4756824

According to the CBC NEWS, there are many problems with the new notes because they will not work in any of the vending manchines. New software is being written to correct these problems. There have also been problems at the bank machines either giving out too many or too few because the notes stick together. It could take up to 6 months to fix all the problems. When the new $5 notes and $10 notes are issued in 2013, these same problems will occur and will have to be corrected with new software.
Hi!

I got a BIH and a BIJ one. I saw also a BIG. :`

Finally, I got a few. Who is the man on the front? 8~ They should have used less detail and somehow complimented the face. Proof that technology advancements aren't always a good thing. BIN, BIW, BIP, BSL.
