A Question for Canadians

[Squishy]

Well, I have a question for all of you Canadians (I'm Canadian too). I have an old Banknote.....and I'm wondering what I should do with it.

It's an old $2 Bill that is part of the 1986 series but was printed in 1989. It looks like it has seen better times but is still very readable and is in one piece with no holes or anything.

My parents told me to hold on to it becuase they don't make them anymore (and they don't). I have also learned that these 1986 series banknotes aren't worth that much. I.E. The $1 and $2 bills are still only worth $1 and $2.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I also have an old $5 bill from the 1986 series which was printed in 1987.

Definitely keep the Bill, I haven't seen the $2 note in a while. Since they are pretty common unless it's in mint condition it won't be worth that much in the future.

Nice find though.

I got about $50 in $2 and $1 notes. I'm going to keep them because they are rare and in this day and age you never know what the hell will become valuable years from now.

Hold on to it. Street value they are still only worth their printed number because they are still legal tender, but there are collectors who will pay more.

Get it lamitnated and keep it as a collectors item.

exactly, its the intrinsic value it holds, so whatever someone wants to pay for nostalgia.

Definitely keep it. I have some coins (pennies) from 1927. Although they aren't in mint condition, they might go up in value.
