pick up a Charlton catalogue
Canadian Government Paper money
You can find them at most book stores like Chapters,  on line or you may be able to get one on this site from Brent.

 Looks like you worked pretty hard to copy all those serial numbers.

I don't see anything that would be considered rare and most are very common.

Have a look on ebay to see what they might sell for but I would think about double face value.

Hope this helps.

hehe i dont know very much about bank notes... was hoping to sell to someone local (not a collector) and I listed everything out to him, figured i might as well list them out elsewhere also.

Thanks MrMentos for posting a detailed list of your notes. This helps us accurately determine what notes you are asking about so that we can give you a better estimate of value. Of course, values always depend on condition, but serial numbers help determine whether or not you have any tough prefixes, varieties, etc.

I don't have any current catalogues available, but I do have several mint copies that are a couple years old. If you want one, send me a PM and I can give you a very affordable price.

You can always post them up for sale in the trading post section. You probably won't be able to sell any individually since they are common. Perhaps sell them all together at one price for the lot.

When looking for bills, is there something in specific I should be looking for?

I remember as a kid I used to collect 20's... i have at least 60 20$ bills hidden under my tv... (had a CRT)

I also found a

BJK9139327  100$ bill 1988

The best thing to do is invest a few dollars and pick up a papermoney catalogue.
It will give you the prices of the notes you have as well as an idea of what types of notes or series you may be interested in collecting.
As for keeping notes under a TV ...not a good idea.....
