bank notes
Hello to all 17 of us,
I usually collect coins but habitually scan bills for any obvious differences. I came across a bill with one number on one half of the serial number out of alignment with the rest of the numbers. Is this worth hanging onto or should I send it back out into circulation? Thanks for any replies.

Look at the last 7 of the first serial number.
It definitely worth more than 20$.
I suggest you to keep it and look into the 2008 Charlton if this error appear.
Lightw4re,
That type of variety is definitely worth hanging onto,as their value will climb.

This kind of serial number called ROTATOR because you can read it upside down. Upside down your serial number could be read 8689686.
It's true only with number 0, 6, 8 or 9.
The value for a canadian journey note are:
5$ = 95$
10$ = 105$
20$ = 115$
50$ = 145$
100$ = 180$

Stockand, there is nothing numismatically significant or special about your serial number 8986989.
Adrenalyne, 8986989 is not a rotator serial number. Yes, it's true that 8986989 will read upside down as 6869868. However, a rotator serial number is suppose to read the same upside down as it does right side up. While 8986989 passes the first test that all digits must either be 0, 6, 8 or 9; it fails the second test, where the middle digit must be either 0 or 8.
