I was looking at the Bank of Canada outstanding note liabilities which is posted at BWJM's website. It would appear that in 2001-2 that four $500 notes were cashed in reducing the outstanding notes from 46 to 42.
Who in their right mind would turn in $500 notes for face value?

I don't know...let's ask Jonathan. :-X

nah, give the guy a break ;D. Actually it was probably a senior resident who turned them in not knowing the extreme value $500 notes bring :'( and also because it happens alot that senior return really old notes back to the bank

Sounds like a question of the hour! Little late for the response, so maybe we should move on.
I sure wish I was at the bank when that person deposited those notes. I'd take out a loan to buy them if I had to!

About two years ago I was talking to Marc or Eric from C&P Numismatics and they told me that an old lady in Quebec City had deposited two 1935 $500 notes. The bank employees didn't know what to do with these notes and they sent them back to the BOC.
I think that the BOC sent the two notes to the currency museum.

Ah well...so long as they're preserved somewhere.
