Good afternoon everyone,

While I used to collect coins and notes when I was in my youth (decades ago), it’s not a hobby which I have followed since then. I will find my old coin collection and review it at some point. Today, I have a question on 1973 $1 banknotes.

When my father learned about the $1 notes being changed to coins in the mid 80s, he purchased a brick of 1000 $1 notes. He hasn’t touched the notes since he purchased them and they remain strapped in the same state as he purchased them.

While I know there were billions of these notes printed and I don’t think there is anything special about this specific serial number series, do collectors have any interest in bricks like these?

Thank you very much for your thoughts!

There were over 1 Billion printed of that series alone.
There should be a radar which would have a premium, but the rest
even if they graded CUNC, would only be worth a couple of dollars each.
Consecutive numbers in modern notes don’t really have a premium.

Chuck it on ebay or one of the main Canadian auctions Bell Coin Expo or TCNC main auctions not the regular monthly ones. I think you will be surprse what this bundle get

Thank you very much for your responses.

I appreciate the feedback.

Cheers!

You could try taking it to a show. I posted info about the upcoming National Postage Stamp & Coin show happening this weekend (04/15 & 04/16). The thing is- you just need to meet the right dealer who may deal in this sort of thing. Ask around (& maybe get some phone #). Don't be put off by those who don't know.

Good luck!

Thank you.
