Modern Replacements

     This is an area which has been most interesting and exciting, but is now in the danger of falling into disrepute, because of the difficulty in identifying them.    Designation of replacement notes (for those ruined in the printing process) is standard throughout the world, as the BoC had been doing for the past 50 years, and delighting inadvertently the collectors at the same time.    But in mid-90s, BoC decided to get rid of, among other things, the practice officially to appease the private banks and save operating cost.    As a result, the designation of 'insert' which are to 'top up' the numbers has become a guessing game, with certain not quite reliable principles, depending on the printing companies (CBN or BABN).    Basically, the A or B series (printed by BABN) are to designate lower numbers as 'insert', while E, F and H (printed by CBN) high number(above 9 million).    The problem is one can never tell.   Even harder to tell is the beginning and the end of a range, because it is almost like random sampling.    The way it is done now is that collectors or dealers would obtain bricks of notes, then go through the bricks to find inserts (among other things like radar,etc.), if they are found, data would be shared, widely or selectively and tables or lists would be constructed and kept, establishing the ranges of inserts in various prefixes.    Since out of millions of bricks no more than thousands would be acquired, the ranges that are established are unreliable.   Besides, currently there is no large-scale conserted efforts in this area, relying only individual undertakings.

       * There has been a persistent but fading question through all the asterisk notes from $1 to $100, and that is whether the existing asterisk prefixes are ALL the asterisk notes BoC has produced.    The randomness of the existing prefixes invites reasonable doubt that what we see are not all that were produced.    (Take $1 for example, there are AA, AB, AL, AN, FA, FB, FG, FH, FN, FV, is there a detectable pattern ? Is it possible that other asterisk notes, say AC,AD etc. have been produced but lost or consumed totally ? )

**** New Replacement or Insert or Quality Inspection Notes ****

         These are the notes that BoC produced to replace the replacements in the late 90s.      The purpose of this table is to show where these inserts were spotted, so to add some legitimacy or concrete proof of the notes.
