pZuggler New Member Canada 5 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 09:10 am Hey there, I left my local casino last night and when I got home and looked at the bills they gave me it turned out I have a rare serial numbered canadian $5 bill. The serial number is AAB1111111 I know you guys can't predict the exact value of the bill but I have literally no idea whether it's worth $5 or $2000. any insight on potential worth is appreciated. The bill is circulated but in very good condition. Looks and feel like a new bill. Report this Post to the Staff

pZuggler New Member Canada 5 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 10:49 am Thank you! Yes, I will take some good pictures and post them later tonight when I get off of work. Also, how should I be storing the bill? I have never had a collectible bill before. Report this Post to the Staff
Hoop130 Valued Member Canada 333 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 11:43 am Excellent! If you were losing at the casino, this is a very nice present to find. Depending on condition, 100 - 500. Report this Post to the Staff

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 3:38 pm I think that is as good as hitting the jackpot. It sure would look good sitting beside the rest of my 5,s. Uncirculated may bring $1000. Report this Post to the Staff

Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 8:14 pm From the pictures, it is difficult to determine the grade. I am going to say Extremely Fine (EF) which has a book value of $600. Report this Post to the Staff

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 8:38 pm I agree EF. I guess you will be going to the casino again soon. I found many replacements and a couple of mismached prefix,until the government closed them down. Report this Post to the Staff
