Hello everyone,

I just came across these two radar notes, both are fairy well circulated. Should I keep them or spend them?

Thank you...!

First things first - to CCF, calgaryhorse! I know nothing about Canadian currency notes, but the two you've shown here look to be very minimally circulated. I have to ask myself, what could it hurt to hang on to them for a while? I say keep 'em. You can always trade them to someone later if it turns out you don't want them any longer. There's a large group of Canadian collectors here. You'd have to have a few more posts before you can sell or trade with someone on CCF forum. Jack

Thank you @jack316! I took the pictures with my iPad and the notes are actually pretty wrinkled. I will hold on to them for a bit I guess, and in the worst case I can always get a collector to pay me face value...doing someone a favor is better than spending them.

to CCF.

The first note (BIP 9779000) is not a radar, as it does not read the same from front to back.

The second note (FIN 7325237) however is a 4 digit radar, and in that condition would be worth keeping.

Thank you @Canadian-Banknotes! I will keep the 4 digit radar. Despite the condition, I'm thinking I should be able to eventually trade a UNC paper $20 (birds or journey) note at the minimum...
