The bank was being difficult. They should have taken them and sent them to the Bank of Canada, as a service, which will always redeem them. The guy found another bank that would take them.

We must be among a very small number of countries that have never de-monitized any federally-issued coins or currency.

I have tried selling $1000 bills to dealers including the one mentioned and I was very nicely told not interested. Granted it was before the pandemic but it was after the BOC had announced that they will no longer be legal tender. I actually had one of the less printed ones from landscape series - it was in EF/AU condition and still there was very little interest. |

Dealers will only buy $1000 bills in high grade uncirculated condition. Anything less than perfect condition is not wanted because there is no demand for them. So why would dealers pay $1000 for something that will just sit on the shelf for a long time. Any dealer dealer would do better by putting $1000 in a GIC. |

I know a few collectors that will sell them more to people of the underground economy!. Have 10 of the pinks is easier than having a bundle of 100s.

The criminal or underground economy does not generally want a 1000 bill that"s hard to use, just look at US where the raids net 100 bills by the skid loads. I remember when the 1000 was legal tender, big box stores often refused them for payment

that to me is silly if the government has print that it is legal tender then is should be legal tender, if the bank refuse then they should be liable for refusing. I would tell the bank you should pay your taxes in these notes hahahaha,or the fines wink wink, no need for any underground economy.

did the customer have an account there?
I've been at the same bank for 35 years, and I can still get rolls/boxes of cents from them (along with 50c and nickel $1s) because of my long term relationship (they make money off of me) and because it's a PITA for them to deal with these coins (and $1000 notes).
this isn't news... it's just one guy complaining about a single experience

I remeber being quite surprised by the Bank of Canada informing me that no vendor is obliged to accept any form of legal tender and that included banks.
The point was on at least one discussion board a few years ago...
