My Take On Silver Types, Junk, Bullion, Proofs

In America? No. They are not legal tender here.

In Canada? Yes. Legal tender, face value 100 CAD, and yes you could take it to a bank and get a $100 bill (in theory). I say in theory, since most bank tellers would probably not even know about the coins; however I don't think they could rightly refuse to exchange them for you (I'm not entirely sure on Canadian law), although you might need to thoroughly explain it to them, or try several banks.

However, something like that, with low mintages and a super-high face value, make them worth a decent amount more than face for resale on ebay or from coin companies (Littleton, albeit consistently more expensive than anywhere else are at $144 I believe, and APMEX is selling some for as low as $125)

Not sure about the shipping. There's the 20-for-20, 50-for-50, and 100-for-100 series. It's a crock.

I have $20 olympic silver coins containing 1 oz of asw ... I have bought them for $18
do banks in Canada accept these as a legal tender?
YES/NO?
If no, will they accept these $50 coins n-years from now at their face value?

there should be a law to punish the bank refusing to accept legal tender of the country.
bought this today
I have no idea if anyone tried to bring them to bank here during last 5-6 years
20 gr. 925 silver ... bought it for $13 ... looks like this is what I will add as soon as 1000 yen and silver spot break even
