I am having trouble finding the value of canadian currency. I have $1 bills from 1954 and 1973. $2 bills from 1954 and 1986 and $5 bills 1986 and a $10 bill 1971. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Mary

Some things that have to be considered:

1. Signature combinations differ within the series, and hint at the actual date;
2. Condition;
3. Letter prefixes in serial numbers, since some are in shorter supply than others and signature combinations changed during some of them; and
4. Whether they are replacement notes (asterisk before serial number)

Is it possible to scan them?

Most people wouldn't give you anything over face value for those. With the exception of the $1 and $2 they all pop up in circulation once in a while (especially hundred dollar bills). Add that to the crispness and all the details pointed out by WpgLwr.

As an example, when I go into the high-end coin store here, I see stacks of bills from the "Dominion of Canada" from pre-Elizabeth II. They are CU in grade, possibly sequential. A stack of 100 bills might command a 5% premium over face (BULK). Just an example. In the lower-end store I sometimes frequent they have (SINGLE) CU bills of $2 going for double face. Of course that's his asking price.

In my experience with bills, the bill must be perfect or near-perfect if it is modern to get much more over face. That is why I'm reluctant to enter the world of bills. I just keep the ones I have and never buy bills.

Libertad, I'm interested in buying those Canadian notes from your local shop, but you have no contact information. Go ahead and send me a note.

Libertad are you saying the 1937 series in Choice uncirculated is bringing 5% over face? That would be the first pre Liz II series. The last Dominion of Canada notes issued in any series quantity were the 1923 notes which bring a bit more *cough* than face in choice uncirculated.

Seriously, that's how I read your post but I don't think that's what you mean.
Which series did you mean?

lol I think he means bulk lots (buyer's price) of 1963 (is it?) $1 notes.

Ugly, you could be right. But I remember it being some ridiculous low price. But you have to buy the whole stack of bills. Good for someone starting up. Reason I may have confused them is they (Georgian and Elizabethan) were in the same display case.

2.50-2.75 C$ apiece is the norm in lots of a hundred. I have seen them cheaper at around 2.00 but not often.
