    1. I have two of the $2 bills and one $1 bill that I’ve been saving since the loonies, and then toonies, were first introduced. Maybe in another 20 years they’ll be worth $20 total instead of $5! Hahaha

  1. Back in 1980, in moved to Alberta from Ontario. I found out that Albertans were so Americanized that most of them had never seen a Canadian $2 bill or believed they existed. ( American $2 bills do exist, they have Thomas Jefferson on the obverse. )

  2. I miss paper money easier to carry then coins. And not all can afford iPhones to pay for things in electronic money

  3. Quick, anyone who has 1k sitting around that can get it put into one of these bills as collectors notes, do it now. This is your last chance, and those 1k notes will be worth SOOOOOO much more in the future. Grab a few of each denomination if you can. If you can’t, if you ever find one, KEEP IT.

    1. You can’t get a $1,000 bill for $1,000 because they haven’t been printed in decades and anyone who has one isn’t going to sell it for $1,000.

  4. This is a hallmark of the new world order. No hard currency, everything is electronic, so they can control all economic activity. The conspiracy theorists were 100% right and this is proof.

    1. They’re eliminating old currency that is no longer used. This has been done tons of times throughout history. There’s no conspiracy here

    2. @Mark Javier yup, keep telling yourself that, it won’t work out to well when you start to see conflict, you won’t understand what is really going on.

    3. @LoveIn TheSun you’re insane. There’s nothing new or odd about eliminating outdated currency. Why would there be conflict over something that’s perfectly normal?

  5. Anyone who still has these bills isn’t going to be using them for their face value, unless they’re clueless to their actual value.
