Please tell me that these are not AI generated as I am envious of this collection.  This belongs to the Bank of Canada Museum but if you have them, bravo to you!!

Green with envy, Whitenite!

They are very real.  I got a couple of them from (former?) forum members.  One was from a GBell auction.  One was from an eBay seller whom I knew.  Bank of Canada is not allowed to have them!

Fun fact:  Since the serial numbers didn't go high enough in the 1935 or 1937 series to reach solid 7s, the first three notes are actually the first three $50 solid 7s printed by the Bank of Canada.  It's hard to believe that it took 40+ years just to get three solid 7s.  Now, thanks for the dwindling value of the dollar, we get new ones every couple of months!

 ???  :)

These are the only 1954 issue $50s with solid sevens!  The devil $50s weren't printed with serial numbers reaching 7s and the modified portrait issue only used prefix A/H and B/H (C/H serial numbers unconfirmed, but well below seven million)

Well done AL-Bob!
