Hi everyone. I have a Canadian $5 bill with serial number 8885888. Its circulated and wrinkled but very cool and I think quite rare. Would it be best to place it on ebay and any idea of its worth? Thanks for any advice! I can add pics. |

Condition is very important on new bills

Not many people care about modern circulated bills. You might get some money for it, but it probably will not be for an enormous profit.

i have said before - and will repeat my opinion. I really do not understand why any currency bill - should be expected to be worth a premium, based only on the searial number. after all - they are mealy the next number in a sequience. I will give you - that yours has some "cool" factor - to it, but I dont't "get" its premium value. just my opinion.

I don't get it either, but people collect all sorts of things.
I predict 12$
Though if it was a buy it now I think a person would pay 25-30$ if it was flattened first in a book, to get them wrinkles to lay flat

I appreciate your opinion but being a 4 combination bill, radar, binary, near solid and bookend, wouldn't it be considered a collector bill for that? Personally, I haven't seen one before.

Oh I agree it is one of the best radar combos. But, I If it was a 8883888 it would be a rotator radar, then it Might get around 50-75 maybe
I think it will do ok

Hard to get the wrinkles out of the polymer bills.

Just a small correction, for it to be a binary note, it would usually need to be a combination of 0's and 1's. Unfortunately the condition of the note will keep this bill under $10, in my opinion. I hope you get as much as you can from it. Yes, its still a great serial number combo. Congrats for finding it. Edited by upc239

There must be a way to clear up some of those creases

Try an iron. Lol.
That would be a very bad idea.
I've sold recent bills with simple radars at a coin shop in the GTA for 50% over face value. I think someone out there will buy it for over $20. People have bought less valuable things for much more money.
