Hi, I have a 1969 $20 Canadian Bill with the serial number on the back. It is from the bank so I know it's real.
On the left side just above the mountains the serial code is red, and on the right side it is blue.
Serial #: EZ1004841
Would anyone have any idea what this is worth?

Generally the 1969 notes have the serial # on the front. Its value will depend a lot on its condition. The placement is wrong if it is not on the front with the Queen.
If the serial # placement is normal, the value would be from $20 (if circulated) to around $145, if it is in pristine uncirculated condition.
If the serial # is truly on the back, then you would have an error note which could be worth quite a bit more than what I mentioned above.
If you could post a picture, it would be helpful.

Very nice error you have there! When you first posted and said you had a 1969 $20 with a serial number on the back, it threw me thinking you really had a 1979, but when I saw the serial number, I thought...wait a minute!
Definitely puts it in a price range much higher than I posted above!

Book value is about $350 in uncirculated condition.

definitely an error. Checking my ( outdated ) Charlton, I don't see your specifically but anything regarding a serial number ( missing number , number in wrong place etc) can really jack the value up.
nice find

The 2011 Charlton does list it at $350 for uncirculated. They suggest reducing this to 80% of that value if it is almost uncirculated or 60% of that value for extremely fine.

If your interested in selling the note, you should post it on ebay and then post the link on the forum. I am sure a couple members here (including myself) are interested in the note. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes
