$100 Notes - 1975, 1988, 2004 My First Bills

With inflation running at 6 per cent plus .those are all spenders !
Put the money into an investment ( dividend stock ) that will make you
Money .

Pacificoin makes a valid point. Those notes appear to be in the EF range, none would grade Uncirculated. They are basically face value notes. Inflation will make them worth less, or less costly to replace over time. If you like them however, by all means keep them.


Good luck trying to spend pre-polymer hundreds, it's virtually impossible. Even difficult to exchange them at banks. If your branch doesn't have Counterfeit Detection, they will hold your money till the notes clear. Last year I brought eighty 1988 to the bank because they were unspendable, I had to wait two days for my polymers.

The AJX note with the premium is Lawson-Bouey, yours has the common Crow-Bouey signature.

A good place to start would be to purchase a used copy of Charlton's "Canadian Government Paper Money". As recent edition as you can find and afford.

I like the AJX but I wouldn't park $100 on a used one. There's a chap, who goes by "Dean" on the CPMF collecting all the paper he can from various branches. He gets multiple circulated $50's, $100's and $1000 notes and posts pictures of them regularly. I don't know what his intentions are but I don't see any of them (but the odd lower tough denomination he sometimes catches) as collectible. I think that as time goes on he'll have a longer wait to convert them to polymers.
@DBM is correct, the best thing you could do is get your hands on a Charlton guide & go to a show. Meet other collectors to get an idea what we collect. Have fun!
