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!
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.
