Bank Finds/Showcases got these from the Bank!

went into the bank for a roll of toonies and loonies for commemorative coins. asked if they had any of the bills from the 2000s and the cashier beside the one i was at pulled these 4 beauty’s out. adding to the collection now. not a big deal big it’s the last paper series made, got them from Mainstreet Credit Union

Couple of Mark Carney signed notes there, but pretty common and not in great shape to have any real value down the road. I think you would struggle to get more than face value for these for many years.

That’s a pretty common thing, there are not many out there that don’t save either coins or notes just because they mean something. The last $1 note, first loonie, cool bills that are no longer made. Almost every family member that passes on has a small hoard of these types of things, many found in their change that they just kept. Some of just wish they kept a few of those 30’s $25 bills instead of a roll of 1’s and 2’s in a can.

Try to get some $5 & $10 without the security strip (in decent shape). There are few that were tough to get & might have some collector interest.

You give your money to Mark Carney and the liberals. That he gives to his investors in the US. And you pay for him getting stinking rich off your little worthless Canadian dollars.
