To commemorate the centennial year many millions of these were printed with no serial#. I don't believe these were issued to banks as regular currency,but were issued for sale and distribution as collectibles.

Yes there was a tonne of these printed in '67... some had serial numbers... some just had the 1867 - 1967 to commemorate the centenial.. In UNC they're worth about $3... this one is a spender... worth $1

Very Common Commemorative note, most dealers give these away in change.

Actually, the ones with the regular serial number are worth a bit more.  And.. Welcome to the CCF forum, MR_Wazzap11  |

I have seen three versions of these bills.
1) The majority have no serial number (just 1867-1967).
2) Some have regular serial numbers.
3) The rare ones have serial numbers with a star (*). These are replacement notes.
Catalog values (Haxby & Wiley 2008) for the three note varieties in UNC condition are: $5, $8 and $30 respectively.

I'm sure that most dealers could easily find perfect 1867/1967 $1.00 for anyone collecting them. I wonder how the mint kept tabs on how many were pumped out... I bought a little pack of these(29 unc's) with "matching serial#'s" back in the 80's for face +10% commission fee...  |

I don't think the mint had to worry about how many were printed... I think the mint only gives stats for coinage. I think the two companies that print for the gov't of canada are BABN and CBNC... as for tracking the number of 1867-1967 notes that were issued.. it's not that difficult even w/o serial numbers as I believe (but please correct me if I'm wrong) that both printers were given orders in the total number of "sheets" they needed to produce

AgCoinAu,
That's a good way of thinking about it, if one sheet produces 20-30 bills or so, then a certain number of sheets would produce a fixed number of bills minus maybe 3-5 % on damaged or "faulty" bills, good way to count it up when the time comes.

Elsmire-
As stated earlier, there were only 12 million of the Centennial banknotes printed.
That 135 million figure includes the notes with serial numbers which is not what
the OP was asking about.
Also curious as to why you revived a 5 year old thread.

I learned something new today... from a 5 year old thread. I've noticed a slight decline of posts lately so I've been reading whatever new I posts I see. I didn't realize it was from 2013.
