walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2573 Posts	Posted 08/08/2025 4:27 pm I have had great luck with Colonial Acres coins. If you need help contact me & I can also make some other suggestions too. Quote: At what point, or year, is considered old in Canada? Surely the 1937 & 1954 series are considered old, but what about beyond that? 1935 series is highly sought after as it only lasted a mere 2 years! Several denominations are short & hard to get in original grades higher than VF. For some time before (& during 1935) Canada had many Chartered banks issue notes but that's a huge "ball of wax" & I won't touch the subject b/c I've made a point of ignoring them. Molson's Bank & the Imperial Bank of Commerce were big hits for collectors. Before that, you're looking at Dominion of Canada (or (DOC) which were large-formatted "horseblanket" notes. These can get very expensive in any grade with decent eye appeal. I also had a couple of great orders come from Allen's Coins of Ohio. I never bought BoC (didn't need to) but their World notes I ordered were fairly graded (perfectly packaged & each note in an individual banknote sleeve). I made 2 very large orders from them. http://store.allensinc.com/canada-c1856.aspx Good luck in your pursuit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
mfhorn Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 08/15/2025 06:18 am @walk2dwater; Thanks for your info. I have no intentions of going any lower than the '37 series. I have always liked the Canadian paper money. They seem change just about everything on their notes every few years, unlike the US which didn't see a change until 1996. I am not in a hurry to find the bills I want. I'm not sure I like the polymer notes though. I know they are supposed to last longer, but they feel "Cheap" to the touch. Is counterfeiting a problem with them? Report this Post to the Staff

The Original Canadian Journey series was Canada's most copied: https://goccf.com/t/417980 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
