 Got this recently-ish. Pretty folded at the middle, though. My first radar (that I've noticed pass through my hands). A pretty clean trinary.

Cool. I am not a note collector, but since joining here, I look at all kinds of stuff I never used to... Paper money is one of them. Congrats on a cool radar!

You have what is termed a 3 digit radar note, market value around
$40.00 or so.
The lower the digits the greater the value eg if this note was a 2 digit radar note the value would be about $85.00 or so and so on
regardless of the condition.

About $35-$40 in that condition.
Most radar collectors are looking for Unc+ examples.

A Canadian Journey $50 3 digit radar note in Unc condition has a book price of $60. If a collector is looking for that specific number they might pay more.
(Most 3 and 4 digit radars are cheap. But still a very nice find from circulation)

From looking at the scan I think yours has a few minor folds. So maybe just Face value. But I would keep it, its a nice looking note. (Again, some people may pay a bit extra if they are looking for a specific number for a set) |

Canadian-Banknotes,
Do you know if there is a similar book for fancy US notes? Also what is the name of the book that list's prices for fancy Canadian SN"s?
Thanks

I have a question to the notes collector. Who picks the valuable numbers from the stacks coming from the Mint as they before they are distributed to the banks.Would employees from Brinks and Garda have a tremendous advantage over everybody. I think that they can replace any notes they find by purchasing it at face value.If you have a dealer ready to buy what you can get,you are in business.You want a job in their money room. This to me is the main reason why looking through your bills at the bank will not produce anything spectacular.    |

Yes,Brinks employees do have the advantage over us.
I had a brother-in-law who worked for them in the main vault.He mainly picked up old silver.(Replaced any he kept at face value.)you would be surprised at what he got.In the end his coin collection was quite impressive!

They're just wallet-folds, nothing like degradation of the material or rips. I can't believe a $40 quote "regardless of condition". Granted, serial numbers are unique for the bill they're on (excluding other denominations). I'm not a paper collector exactly, so this is pretty uncommon for me.

I have a 1991 $20 2 digit radar that is in the same condition, and I bought it for $21. Radar collectors have told me they would not be interested in purchasing my note unless it was at face value.

Canadian-Banknotes,
Did you see my question about the books? Thanks
Fwiw, the candadian currency market is a lot more active currently with decent premiums than the US market for fancy SN's. Do your own DD.
Also, a couple of things here -- In the states (USA) employees working in the "main cash vault" go to work with "nothing" and leave work with "nothing" and it's an automated process. No way to cherry pick "crisp" chcu fancy SN's from "sealed" skids and pallets .
I can see something taking place in the "money room" which is a separate 3rd party vendor for "circulated" coins and currency. Even within the money room security is tight with camera's every where.
