all Canadian notes and American notes are uncirculated, I spend a bit more on finding ONE note as oppose to a few circulated one (quality over quantity!) i currently have 4 X 1973 Replacement (*) notes and 150 world bank notes in UNC condition in there way to my house! keep in mind all these bills were purchased by me (19 years old) within the last year! and I love buying silver so buying fiat currency is hard! I'm soon looking to start buying the older series Canadian bank notes! good old 1$ bills! (5 1973 consecutive), 1973, 1967, 1967!  2$ bill (5 1986 consecutive), 1954, 1986, 1974!  5$ bills 1979, 1986  10$ bills - 1989, 2005  1979 and 10 consecutive 20$ 2004  2 consecutive 1$ bills and two 2$ bills  Canadian tire money!  Cuba, China heck note and Dominican Republic!  |

Hello jakedacc!
"I spend a bit more on finding ONE note as oppose to a few circulated one (quality over quantity!)"
To have learned this lesson early on during you collecting career impresses me a lot.
I doubt that you will ever regret this approach to collecting.

 Over time, you will be glad that you decided to buy quality pieces over many low grade common notes. |

I don't think the CHinese one is actually a banknote. It certainly isn't from the last 70 years. It might be a heck banknote.

Canadian Tire Notes actually have quite a following in Canada.
I personally know very little about them.

The Chinese one is definately fake unless you paid a million for it.
How do you actually get so Many Canadian Tire Bills? Do you ask for them or do you have to reach a certain amount of cash purchase?

Canadian tire money is passed out on every purchase - as a 'bonus' - I think the going rate is 1.5% of your purchase back in Canadian tire money. For a while there, it used to be 4% and then online, if you printed off a 'shopping list' from CanadianTire.ca they would double that! For a few years there, it was quite the 'bonus'. Now, at 1.5% it's something, like they say.... .What did your store give back to you?
