I’ve been looking for almost a month and still can’t find one with a reasonable price.

Colonial Acres in Kitchener have two for sale on their website, a VF and an EF.

It will depend on a lot of factors including minimum grade acceptable (which you haven't stated), eye appeal, original (or not), etc. The higher/stricter your requirements could make your pursuit either easy or or more difficult. Since the pandemic, everything has become a bit more dear but a lot of notes began to appear as collectors passed away. However, the market has also softened considerably so now may be a good time to buy. The problem is: many know that the market is soft so they won't sell (or let go) desirable items like they will for the more common garden varieties (or later series). This is IMO but I feel the market has shrunk somewhat.

I waited (& searched) for 2-3 years before the pandemic for some gaps to fill in my 1954 DF & earlier sets & my requirements were simply good eye appeal, TPG above VF30 & Original (Or EPQ).

I would try posting an ad on the CPMF Trading Post:

I would also keep searching both ebay as well as the CDN & US auction houses (for World currency). Many US collectors call world currency "Foreign," & while they like the first 3 series they often won't go for lower graded notes. I don't know where you are from but if you have a coin dealer you can get to know, that can also help as they will actively search for you.

There's always at least fifty on eBay at all times.
You haven't been looking long enough, a month is a very short time, or you have unrealistic expectations price-wise.
