I have a mint 1991 Canadian $20, how long will it take to appreciate?

Is it worth more than $20 now?

If so, where can I sell it?

If I wait 5 years, how much?
10 years, how much?
20 years, how much?

A) If it's a typical $20 and in pristine condition, it's not likely worth much more than face value.  These notes were pretty common (often printed in the 10 million range).

If the serial number is one collectors desire - it could be worth a little more

B) You can always try online (ebay or ebid)

C-E) If you wait- it may be worth more (however, considering inflation, it's probably not worth your wait!)

Ok, here are some serials:

EWR4927306
EWR4927307
..
Thru
EWR4927320

Does the fact that they're consecutive mean something?

So, why would some serials be worth more than others?

Worth about $25 to $35.  Most likely only $25 if you can find a buyer.  Not a rare bill by any means.

Consecutive is not going to give you a premium for such a new bill.

Collectors collect number patterns and prefixes.  There is no pattern in your number.  The prefix is not rare...so supply and demand do not dictate a premium.

If you had a Bonin-Thiessen, EVH no BPN now that would be worth some money.  $1000.
