About Phased-Out Bank of Canada Notes

The Bank of Canada has retired certain older banknote series from legal tender status, meaning they can no longer be used for everyday purchases. However, they can still be redeemed at face value at any bank — and many are worth considerably more to collectors. Don't redeem yours until you've had them appraised. Learn more about this program.

For a full history of Canadian banknote series, visit the Bank of Canada Museum.
