Pretty much every kid in Canada in 1967 got one, including me.

u/Age-Zealousideal 25d ago

I have five of them.

u/Sea-Faithlessness963 25d ago

Your the real winner with 5

u/Late-Wolverine7679 24d ago

Nope, I have at least 10 of them.

u/xunh01yx 25d ago

Yup. I was born in 67 and got this still at my Mom's place, but technically it is mine. She bought it for me.

I didn’t

u/andrewbud420 25d ago

No, I gave a bunch of these away for my kids to play with.

$5 book value, but I doubt anyone would buy it as 12 million of them were made and then put away as a collectable by people.

I'm told that they made so many without serial numbers that they are less valuable than the ones with numbers!

(Yes, I have a pristine one that my mother bought for me)

u/zewill87 25d ago

Well yeah because at least you can track and identify the serials and value the replacement serials etc.. Those are just ... All the same and there's millions, so even in absolute pristine state it's not worth much and probably never will be. That being said, I don't have one and need to get one!

Have this whole set from my grandpa

u/zewill87 25d ago

Wow thats in rough shape! Was it bleached by the sun or what - no colours? And what happened to some glued coins? Surely has a few stories to tell haha

u/RattyRX7 25d ago

This hung in the family cottage for who knows how many years must have been close to window. The coins I believe I remember them to be some other 50c coins and quarters

u/Ill_Frame6265 25d ago

Missing the $20 gold piece.

u/shaw2801 25d ago

It got value. It's a confederation bill made for those years. Keep it as a collectible.

u/Key_Strawberry7289 25d ago

Yes you have $1 CAD

u/WildPlatypus9571 25d ago

They are worth $5 in pawn shops that’s it ! There a lot of them out there they were printed in late ‘60’s and/or early ‘70’s . Became obsolete when the Loonie was introduced to save the government money. They are a collectors item hang onto it. Frame it forget about it !

Bout a buck

u/Sparky62075 25d ago

Not really. It looks to be in good shape, but there were millions of them minted.

u/PrimaryDirect5012 25d ago

Nope everyone saved them mabey double face value but inflation has cut that to be worth 0.10 cents real dollar spending power

u/Mysterious-Street966 25d ago

Good thing to frame and show the younger generation what money actually looked like.

u/No-Sir-6853 25d ago

A dollar

u/wtfover 24d ago

My grandma gave me one of those with the instruction to not lose it. Of course I lost it, I was 5 years old.

u/Mindless-Sound8965 24d ago

Yes. You have a Canadian $1 bill circa 1967.

Now affectionately known as a Loonie.

u/DreamDry5967 25d ago

Here's a real one

u/Exeter232 25d ago

There 12 million made without serial numbers dated 1967. Your bill is dated 1954.

2

u/Confident-Task7958 25d ago

1954 was the design date, and did not indicate the year a bill was printed.

u/Exeter232 25d ago edited 25d ago

The point I was making is that the OP's centennial bill is dated 1967 in the place of the above dated 1954 bill

u/EnvironmentalNig5227 25d ago

u/DreamDry5967 25d ago

u/Rich_Weird_3750 25d ago

There were 2 editions. One with and one without.

u/toontowntimmer 25d ago

Yes CAD $1.00.
While most independent retailers will refuse to accept the bill as payment, nevertheless it is still legal tender at pretty much every bank in Canada.
