Pie in My Face
For the past 6 months I've been going on about counterfeit $5 bills. Today K and I were at the bank and I showed the 'bill' to the teller and was told in a 'matter-of-fact' manner that these are just old bills. She replaced my old one with a new one just to make me feel better. Then L and I checked the Bank of Canada website and it now makes perfect sense! Sorry about any confusion, we were way off track for any number of reasons but I had to let you all know asap.

Oh no!!!! Well, I am glad of this. It was good that you were cautious in the first place. So do you think that first fiver was counterfeit?
Good to know that they were not bad bills! Nothing would have ben worse then had you taken them to the bank and turned them in and you would have gotten nothing in return.
Japra and Mom, thanks for your kind comments.
Japra, I think the first fiver was real, just the man at the convenience store being mis-informed. Then L gave me 3 good reasons why this fiver didn't look like the new ones and I was convinced. Never thought to check further and had a good few people believing me. It sounds like a comedy of errors.
Hee hee...cute! =)
Hope you're having a good week.
Paris, it's funny how we never look at our money in any detail, we just use it.
Better to be safe than sorry Christine.
