Title: a 100 note
Post by: darrkk on June 16, 2007, 12:40:11 pm

Hello.
I'm from Poland and I am flying to Canada next week.
I have a question of denomination of 100. I have two kinds of them: from 1988 and 2003, they are different. So, are both kinds valid? Can I use them without any problems? Or perhaps these from 1988 are out of use , only for collectors?
I'm looking forward for your replies...
Thx

Both notes are valid in Canada and will be accepted at any Canadian Bank. If you provide the serial number the forums members will be able to inform you if any of the notes are collectable.

The BJP7506391 and BJJ9709843 are worth slightly above face value if they are in pristine condition. Other than that they look like spenders. How you enjoy your visit to Canada.

Both versions are legal tender but some small businesses will not accept the 1988 ones (the Birds of Canada series). Most businesses will accept the 2003 (Canadian Journey series) notes. Bank notes issued in Canada (Domination of Canada, and Bank of Canada notes) may be exchanged or cashed in at a bank.

BTW, many McDonald's restaurants will not accept $50 and $100 bills regardless of series  ;).
