I came across this banknote at a local internet auction, and I found it very intriguing... But I don't have any knowledge of these things whatsoever, so hoping you guys could clear things up a bit. It's priced at around $15, is it worth it? And more important, is it real?

I am no expert on these, but I seen a few images on Google. My guess would be a fake.

You have to be very careful with CSA Currency. I have a $10 and $20 that I had verified by a currency guy, as I am not, as genuine, he told me the upper denominations are pretty scarce. Would be a great find if real.

Yeah I'm pretty skeptical myself, that's why I hope someone can give some guidelines about the notes. The same seller also sells these notes in a lot, he asks around $50 for all 3.

Seems a bit strange concidering $15 for the 500 dollar?

I'm not sure about value...but I would not think that this piece of paper has any.

It is most definitely not genuine.....the portrait is glaringly crude, and the entire note lacks the detail of a genuine note.....This note, if genuine, would sell for hundreds of dollars, and the seller knows it (you do too now).

Thanks zeewool, I think I will confront the seller on it, and ask him if he knows they are fake.
I bought coins with him before, so I guess he should be honest... Otherwise it was the last time :)
