1979 Five...

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Somebody paid for their coffee at work the other day with one of these..  My boss doesn't let us accept them because "we can't tell if they're real".  I took it anyways because I wanted the note, and I can tell if they're real or not. 

The note is in rather terrible condition.  Should I just spend it?

I would spend it. But if you dont have that note yet. It would be nice to have. Then again you can get a good looking one for $10-$20. Book is $55 for UNC.

I'm not really much of a collector.. I just watch for notes I think might have some value when I'm serving the thousands of cups of coffee I do everyday.  I do have a bit of a fascination though, so perhaps one day I will start collecting.  Who knows!

Thanks for your reply!
