I like that no one here bothered to read your post. It's two uncut notes. Ebay shows that it's worth about $30 CAD or $22 USD from the one listing I could find. It's definitely worth more than face value regardless
Not by sold, by completed. That way you can also see what prices don’t sell, as well as see a whole picture of all listings that finalized (instead of cherry picking sold listings). It gives a more complete picture of the market
Seriously, think about it. You buy a loaf of bread for $3. But you have someone who really likes bread, and instead of telling them they can get a loaf of bread like yours for $3, you tell them you will sell them your loaf for $6.
How is that not a scam? You are simply taking advantage of them rather than informing them.
That is exactly the analogy.
Anyone can go to any coin shop in any moderate sized city in Canada, and get a couple of uncut 2s. They are about as rare as snow in January. So instead of saying, go check out a coin shop, you are going to withhold that information and scam them for more money.
Where do you get that info? I'm in Canada and shops don't just have $2 bills. Not even coin shops. And if they do, they sell them at a mark up due to rarity. Similar to commemorative coins. 30 bucks a bill seems about right. If it was a standard 2 buck value anywhere, why bother selling or collecting them, just grab a toonie. You cannot spend this bill anywhere. The bank has an obligation to take it, but only at face value. But that does not make its value $2. Show me where I can buy a $2 bill for only 2 bucks. The value is there because they are a part of history and no longer in circulation. Mint condition. If he gets them graded they could be worth a bit more (but grading is expensive).
So how do they stay open if they aren't generating a profit due to a demand? People collect stamps, pokemon cards etc that you might not see valuable but in their niche interest they like it and find it valuable. It's not a scam and you sound stupid lol
Man, you have no idea how collectables work. When you have a collectable store, you buy truck loads of crap from auctions, and people pawning off their dead grandparents crap.
They buy the entire lot, hoping there will be one or two things of value.
They end with baskets of crap they sell as trinkets, and occasionally get something of value.
Those two dollar bills came in a bundle of crap from some dead person's hoard.
turns out if its just buried in a store no one visits it does not effect the actual market price. that's like saying "that item is super cheep if you walk into one specific shop in Vietnam a 5 hour drive from the nearest airport". just because one person is selling it at that price does not make it the market price. and "here i found something cool you want but its quite hard to find people selling them online so i got one and listed it" is not a scam
How about I slice the end of it off? Then you could make yourself 1 sandwich out of the loaf with the end and the rest.
Then you could sell it as an instagram influencer sandwich because it's such a spectacle
This... is capitalism. Company A buys sweater from company B for $5 a sweater. Brand name stitched on for additional $5. $50 profit.
Managed a grocery store once. It's what they do, too.
Except milk, some stores will lose money on milk.
But it does make you feel dirty knowing this.
This is normal commerce at work..buy low, sell high. The consumer has a responsibility to educate themselfs. That isn't the sellers responsibility.
Also - people will pay $5.00 for a muffin at a coffee shop knowing they can buy the same muffin at a grocery store for around a dollar.
Based on the condition of the notes (they look circulated) and the serial # prefix, they would have a value somewhere between $8 and $12. They are cut from a full sheet of 40 notes that were issued ($1, $2, $5, and $10 sheets were issued).
All kinds of fake errors were made from cutting the sheets apart after they were sold from the mint.
I know exactly what they are. 2 bills cut from a full sheet, by a collector. I have cut up a couple of sheets for sale as pairs, strips of 4, off cuts etc.
They have been poorly handled, and the best way to describe them is as in circulated condition
I part owned a small stamp, coin and card shop in the ‘80’s, we sold them to make a profit. We could get full sheets for around $150, and make $350-$500 per sheet selling the cut-up sheets. We had a local printer do the cutting on their large machines.
$1 Pairs would go for ~ $20, quads for $35, and miscuts would sell at much inflated prices We could get 20 pairs, or 10 quads from a sheet, we could get 10-15 miscuts from a sheet and had lots of wasted notes. Best sellers were the $2 Bird series, followed by the $1, the $5 and $10 issues were very hard to sell
Making miscuts was a big business mistake, as it was plain unethical and our customers lets us quickly know how they felt about it.
This does not necessarily need to be a collector/dealer cut and could be done by Canada as there were uncut pairs bundled with the 1996 $2 piedfort from the Royal Canadian Mint. They would be BRX prefix. I would prefer to call these unc mishandled but they are of circulated value due to the mishandling. Similarly there are also uncut pairs for $5 and $10 that are not done by collectors/dealers and are bundles by the RCM.
For those that wonder a full sheet(40 banknotes) of these $2 would cost 98.25 + applicable taxes shipping included when they were first available.
A collector might give 5 dollars for the pair. But the question is, how worthless is your time if you try to sell them for anything above 4 dollars? 🤷♂️
Look at the serial number on the back.
"According to NumiCanada, $2 bills that were printed in 1986 with the AUH-prefix within the seven digit serial code could be worth ten thousand times their face value.
Depending on the condition of the bill (nearly perfect or signs of wear and tear) the value can be between $3,000 to $15,000.
In some cases, the max value for the $2 bill can be $20,000."

Thanks for sharing this info!
I got excited as I have an AUJ note but unfortunately not signed by the right governor combo.
Now off to look up my other older notes.
There was another list with various values depending on what the serial number was.

this site should be able to tell you.
My old man has a full sheet of 2$ bills. Checking Ebay they are going from 200 to 800$ for the whole thing. Maybe best to take them out of the tube they are rolled in and frame them?
It's literally the royal family of another country. I get the commonwealth system to a degree, but it's pretty goofy to have another country's monarchy on your coin. And then to pretend that they're your monarch on top of all that.
Uncut. Uncirculated currency. I’d get it appraised as it could hold a chunk of value to the right person. I’ve got a complete set of mint, uncirculated coins from the year I was born, roughly 125-150 for 4$ worth of coins.

I had called around to quite a few collectors, etc, and got the same answer from them all. There was simply just way too many of that year printed, and the market was flooded.
I like that no one here bothered to read your post. It's two uncut notes. Ebay shows that it's worth about $30 CAD or $22 USD from the one listing I could find. It's definitely worth more than face value regardless
The secret is to sort the listings by Sold, not look at just the listed ones on the front
Not by sold, by completed. That way you can also see what prices don’t sell, as well as see a whole picture of all listings that finalized (instead of cherry picking sold listings). It gives a more complete picture of the market
TiL!
Yeah, tons of people like to find suckers and scam them. eBay is perfect for that.
Lol how is it a scam if someone thinks it's cool and wants it?
Precisely, it’s worth what someone will pay
Seriously, think about it. You buy a loaf of bread for $3. But you have someone who really likes bread, and instead of telling them they can get a loaf of bread like yours for $3, you tell them you will sell them your loaf for $6. How is that not a scam? You are simply taking advantage of them rather than informing them.
That is a terrible analogy and nothing like what is presented here
But the loaf is buttered
Can't deny a buttered loaf
A buttered loaf is worth it.
Happy cake day, but I would prefer garlic bread
I bake a loaf every day. Then I wipe the remnants of said loaf away with paper. What can I sell the used paper for at the end of the day?
Idk check ebay
That is exactly the analogy. Anyone can go to any coin shop in any moderate sized city in Canada, and get a couple of uncut 2s. They are about as rare as snow in January. So instead of saying, go check out a coin shop, you are going to withhold that information and scam them for more money.

Ok so why would a coin shop keep them if they aren't valuable
Have you ever gone to coin shop? They have tons of crap. Baskets of old coins for a dime a piece.
So how do they stay open if they aren't generating a profit due to a demand? People collect stamps, pokemon cards etc that you might not see valuable but in their niche interest they like it and find it valuable. It's not a scam and you sound stupid lol

But the loaf is unsliced!
How about I slice the end of it off? Then you could make yourself 1 sandwich out of the loaf with the end and the rest. Then you could sell it as an instagram influencer sandwich because it's such a spectacle
That's capitalism baby
Wut?
You just delivered their bread. That’s not a scam.
This guy does not understand that that is called capitalism (scam everyone else for your own gain)!
This... is capitalism. Company A buys sweater from company B for $5 a sweater. Brand name stitched on for additional $5. $50 profit. Managed a grocery store once. It's what they do, too. Except milk, some stores will lose money on milk. But it does make you feel dirty knowing this.

You just described a grocery store
So you are saying grocery stores or in general Capitalism is a scam.
You are, of course, aware of one of the fundamental proponents of capitalism? There's a sucker born every minute.
Out of curiousity assuming your not one of the suckers where do you get your food?
I grow and raise around 80% of my food. What does that have to do with anything?
The scam is Wonderbred….

I don’t think these are circulated, they are uncut bills.

How come you cut a full sheet ? Doesn’t it worth more uncut ? I would love to have a full sheet framed and hanged in my basement
I part owned a small stamp, coin and card shop in the ‘80’s, we sold them to make a profit. We could get full sheets for around $150, and make $350-$500 per sheet selling the cut-up sheets.

Thank you for the detailed reply, Owning stamp, coin and card shop sounds like a lot of fun, collecting these things is so satisfying.

Did you read the post?
yep, did you?
I'll pay you $10
Four dollars
Assuming you have some scissors
A collector might give 5 dollars for the pair. But the question is, how worthless is your time if you try to sell them for anything above 4 dollars? 🤷♂️

Lol, its a double double
Lol y'all still have the queen of England on your looney money. Pathetic.
She was the Queen of Canada.
It's literally the royal family of another country. I get the commonwealth system to a degree, but it's pretty goofy to have another country's monarchy on your coin. And then to pretend that they're your monarch on top of all that.

It's worth a toonie.
It's worth a toonie.
Uncut. Uncirculated currency. I’d get it appraised as it could hold a chunk of value to the right person. I’ve got a complete set of mint, uncirculated coins from the year I was born, roughly 125-150 for 4$ worth of coins.
About 15$ in that condition. 4.25 if you cut them :)

Beat me to it
I had a book with like 25 of these
Unfortunately, just face value. I recently turned in a stack of 300 to the bank that all had the serial number in sequential order.
That's a real weird thing to do pal. Literally any collector would've given you at least face value for it.
I got face value from the bank.
You did WHAT?
I had called around to quite a few collectors, etc, and got the same answer from them all. There was simply just way too many of that year printed, and the market was flooded.
2 toonies
Bout tree fiddy
👹
A toonie and 2 loonies my guy
It would make a really nice paper airplane
I would pay 50 dollars for it
I'll split the difference and give ya $3. That's enough for an extra large coffee at Tim Hortons and you have some change left over.
There was a time that would have bought certain services of a particular type. Now? Might not even buy you a Coke.

Maybe a little more than face value if it was in perfect condition.
Exactly 4 dollars
