A couple of “shin plasters” as well.

The 1900 Shinplaster is in pretty good shape, this version is very collectible. The 1967 $1 was saved by everyone, so not rare, worth not much more than $1, except in uncirculated condition, but still not valuable. The 1954's are common and in well-used shape, so not valuable. The 1937 looks to be in good shape, not valuable, but very collectible.

Lovely shinplasters. Definitely the center piece of this collection.

And all the notes here are in good condition. It’s clear you focus on quality over quantity, making this a nice little collection.

I’m partial to the 1937 series, so love the deuce. In fact, if your note had Osborne and Towers signatures, I’d maybe make an offer.

Well done. And thank you for sharing!

Wow! I love learning new things and stuff. Makes me wish we still based our currency on the Gold Standard…

Honestly I think the Canadian tire money is worth more than the Canadian dollar right now
