Well, after hitting a bazillion banks, I FINALLY found one with some new 5's. And all that they would give me is 4 bills!

The excuse: I don't order 5's, I get enough from deposits, but I was sent one bundle by mistake.

Hey MB… here's an oxymoron for you: Customer Service

Rates right up there with Civil Servant.

I found a bank manager that will bring me $500. of new $5. I'll pick them up Easter Monday.
What about 'military intelligence' or is that too close to home for some members?

Pooga: Could you imagine running your business that way?
"Hello Great Western? I'd like to order 200 cases of GW Light." GW: "Piss off! We only feel like shipping Premium Lager. Try next month."
We should open our own bank.
Imagine it staffed with CMTers: "I get to stamp first!" "Get lost! It's my turn!" At least the staff would be enthusiastic…

One nice thing about the new 10's and 5's..

.. no damn security holograph to get in the way of our stamps! Lots of open space on both sides.

That's good, because I need more room for my 'New Improved' stamp…

Hmm, maybe it's who you know. When we (Silly, my girl Friday at the office) went to CIBC main this PM (business line), my stamp was finally commented on (It's BIG now, need more hits), the teller had no problemo with it. and Silly bought all the 5's she wanted.

I managed to pick up $200 in new 1984 fives. Rather than stamp them, I fooled around a bit and managed to get them easily moving through my laser printer. Darn..do they ever look good! I hope there's a spot on the new $5's I can put the same message!

Still not easy to find some new 5 in Qu?bec city area…

Still no $5's in Windsor area either

Credit Union where my wife works got money parcel in but no new 5"s

They are available because we're already getting them at the store. One was already creased and wrinkled bad.

I've been to Credit Union on 8th st, and TD Can Trust (an oxymoron?) both on 8th and downtown, but all deny having them.

I drive cab in Kitchener and I haven't personally recieved any yet. Alot of my cab friends have gotten them but not me. Be patient.
