LOL Kurt Canadian Tire is a store chain, originally they sold, well, tires lol. Now it's more a dept store ... for years they have given out "Canadian Tire Money" as a reward when you pay cash. Here's a paragraph from their web page ... Canadian Tire 'Money'™ was inspired by Muriel Billes, the wife of Canadian Tire's co-founder and first president, A.J. Billes, and was introduced as a "cash bonus coupon" in 1958 in the first Canadian Tire Gas Bar in Toronto. and here's the link http://www2.canadiantire.ca/CTenglish/ctmoney.htmland here's a pic for nds  Edited by Stewie

Well CT money has a listing under ebay canada categories and there are over 40 items listed ... some with bids!! For 99¢ bid & $1 shipping you can buy $1.10 worth of CT money ... that's a net loss of 89¢ |

There are many collectors of Canadian Tire money. Some of the early issues sell in the thousands of dollars. Here is a link to a collectors club. If I am not mistaken, a few years back Charltons put out a guide for Canadian Tire money http://www.nunet.ca/ctcccindex.htmlEdited by chrycopaul
