I collect mostly Canadian decimals & paper. For the last couple of years I've been concentrating on the 5 cent nickel series 1922 to date. I have nearly completed this series in ICCS MS-64 for the most part, with only a couple of coins to go. I have also picked up some pretty neat varieties alo...

Lightw4re,
How do you identify the current Canadian replacement notes? Is a star still used to identify them like on the older issues,such as the 1954-dated issues & the 1954 'Devil's Head' issue?

I picked up this note in an auction over here in New Zealand for around NZ$60,including commission & G.S.T..

It is my only chartered bank note from anywhere in Canada.

I already saw one of them. And just found the picture of it: http://www.numicanada.com/forum/class/test/DSC00372.jpeg Look at the last 7 of the first serial number. It definitely worth more than 20$.
