Today I received an 1991 Canadian $20 as a tip from a customer and I'm just wondering what sort of value it has.

it looks like it just came out of a bank machine its new and crispy and it has the serial number AWT1691691

i have done some research since I have come home home and believe its a 3 digit repeater it doesn't have serifs in the serial number and it has a B.P.N

any information would be great as I cant seem to find anything similar using google to figure out its value

Your right. It is a three digit repeater.
There would be a bit of a premium to it.
It is part of what is known as the Bird Series
as all denominations had a picture of a bird on the back.

Thanks, that helps :) I am still searching around to see what I can find out, but the bird series information helps and the confirmation that it is a 3 digit repeater helps. Should I post a picture of the bill on here do you think it would help in anyway ?

For approximate value and to learn a bit about grading, here is a good link for general information:
http://www.coinsandcanada.com/bankn...8&id_denom=7

On this link right at the bottom it talks about repeaters and how there is not much demand for them, so the value will come from the grade of the bill itself.

thanks, I read over the links you provided that was actually the first page I landed on when I started my search. I thought they where only talking about 5 and 6 digit repeaters either way I think its a cool keeper to hang on to.
here are the images of the Note :)

Its a nice note but I see a lot of handling on it. There is creases right below 1991 on the front as well as the reverse. There is a crease in the middle horizontally.
Plus there is ruffling on the edges.

I would give it a grade of EF which is 60% of Uncirculated price.
The Charleton catalog give a UNC price of $55 for this bill.

Not only is it a repeater, some collectors would also collect this as a rotator, even though the number 1 isn't an official "rotating" number.

Great find and agreed, it looks like in EH condition.

Thanks upc239, Good to know, this bill has rekindle my love of collecting currency. I used to have a huge collection of coins and notes from all over the world until one day when I moved, somewhere along the way my entire collection was lost/stolen in the process. So I am going to keep this bill as the first piece in my new collection. thanks again everyone that responded for all the great feed back and I look forward to posting much more over the the rest of my life as I build up my collection.
