Canadian Tire Money

Postby Oakair » Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:01 pm

I used to live in Toronto (among other places) as a wee lad, and I had managed to acquire 7.75$ of canadian tire money :lol:

Some of it is pretty old, late 1960s...

And it got me to thinking...Do any of you Canucks have a larger hoard? Do any of you guys collect em?

Whats your oldest bill?

I figure they're worth more than my current currency, which I find kind of laughable...dang american FRN's haha

It's still accepted. There are active collectors out there.

I spend mine once I get $10.00 of it.

Pretty collectible stuff. Someone told me that PCGS and other paper money grading services were going to start certifying Canadian Tire notes. They already do Disney Dollars and it seems that the CT notes are even more reputable and interesting over decades of history.

Haven't seen any in holders to verify that's true, though.

Hurry up.... Canadian Tire has been thinking over the past few months of ending their customer loyalty program.
