Are the centenial bills with the 1867 1967 serial number or are the the ones with a reg prefix and serial number? If they have the 7 digit number you should list prefixes.What condition?
In most cases if they are circulated they are worth face value?
Do any have an asterisk on them?
As for the 73 ones unless the prefix / serial numbers are special again like worth about face value or a touch more if uncirculated.
You can check ebay and find that they are very common and too many exist ...
You should post prefix/ serial #'s/ condition to get a better idea as to value

Thanks:
 All the centennial bills have the 1867 1967 serial number and are uncirculated.
The 1973 bills are serial numbers ECK8799055 -ECK8799099 and are uncirculated.

Looks like you have about $50 in spending money!  :-*

The No Serial 1867 - 1967 notes are a dime a dozen.  Can buy them in stacks as they are everywhere in UNC.

As for the $1 1973 notes some people might pay a few cents over face for them but they are nothing special as again people horded them in UNC.

If you need the money you can spend them.  If not you can hang on to them as souviners but I wouldn't expect them to appreciate in value anytime soon.

The 1973 notes are fun to taunt Teenagers working at Timmies though.. they have no idea what a $1 note is.. lol.

Yeah, it's great fun to spend $1 and $2 bills at Walmart, Canadian Tire and Timmies. Most cashiers there are young kids, when they get one of those notes, they look so puzzled, traumatized and excited about receiving  the notes. Most of them get so messed up about the note, they have to ask their manager if Canada ever printed $1 and $2 notes? Then they think the notes so valuable, they wonder why I'm spending them? But the notes are low grade spender, VF and below.
