"Ouch!" that's gotta reverberate in one's head for a while!

I would have definitely pulled out $1000 in 10's if they kept being sequential, oh well... And it was on the triple F prefix too.

Definitely all face value notes. Collectors would need AU/Unc or better.
The names used for grades of paper money are, ahem., euphemistic, to say the least. While your assessment of "very good" for the grade is pretty much spot on, this is a low grade by a collector's standards and would be collectible only in the case of very old and/or rare notes. Notes from this series have been horded in the millions and are most certainly not of any interest to collectors in this condition.
You could always keep them as a keepsake or to give to a kid who might become a future collector some day. Or go to a coin show and use them to buy a single Unc note that might have some collectible value!
Thank you for the input! I suspected as much but wanted to hear from someone who actually knows what they're talking about
I managed to pick up a small run of FFK Change-Over Rogers notes from a bank that did not go through a counting machine. Examined with magnifying glass and they have NO markings whatsoever.

Apologies for the giant images. Attempting to re-size them.
Greetings all,
This is my first post so please let me know if it's not correctly formatted or I'm not providing enough (or the correct) information. I'm very much a layman, but I do have the Charlton 2023 edition to hopefully make this post less of a waste of your time. A few notes from the 70s that were passed to me from a friend, originally from an estate sale. I suspect most of them are only worth face value but I am curious about a couple, mostly because I don't trust my own reading of the Charlton and I lack personal knowledge. I am certainly out of my depth trying to assess grading. I will attach images.

My reading of the guide tells me that the 5s and the 2 are pretty much face value. The 1s and the 10 may be more, or I may be reading the guide incorrectly or misinterpreting something. Any help or direction is appreciated from this complete amateur.

I heard that the CDF prefix bills were mostly released in Quebec- I suspect that may be true as I never saw any UNC CDF $10 from any banks here in Ontario. They may have been released in Alberta & BC as well. A friend from BC said he got some UNC CDF from a casino in Vancouver.

It’s cool finding the CDF bills in circulation-yes, but that means they're pretty plentiful & not worth much in circulated condition.
Welcome to CPMF TN56!
I just found this Maktun coin & banknote recognition app from C&C. Not sure how helpful it is (as I don't think I will be using it) but you may wish to try it out:
https://maktun.com/
It is suppose to be free. Good luck!

This is interesting, thanks for sharing some info, y'all.
