1954 issue $1000 notes

Hi there,

Just wondering where the best place to sell old Canadian currency is. I would rather sell to a collector who would appreciate them, rather than just turn the bills into a bank as I have heard banks are required to destroy old bills that have long been removed from circulation. Not sure if this is true, though, but would hate for them to cease to exist.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

For Bank Notes like this one, eBay could be the best solution.

That's true.

I don't see these worth selling on ebay since the cost of listing/selling/paypal/postage etc are unlikely to justify the money you sell it for and in most case you will probably lose money
