What Does It Mean to Sell Paper Money and Banknotes?
Selling paper money is not the same as spending it or exchanging it at a bank. Not all banknotes are still accepted at face value, and some older notes are no longer redeemable at all.
At the same time, certain banknotes carry collector value that goes well beyond their printed denomination. Rarity, age, condition, series, and serial number details can all matter.
We help you understand what type of note you have whether it carries face value, collector value, or neither before you decide what to do with it.
Types of Banknotes and Paper Money We Buy
Canadian Banknotes
Older Canadian banknotes, Bank of Canada notes, discontinued series, and notes kept in family collections can all be reviewed at our Brampton shop.
World Banknotes
Paper money from other countries may have collector interest because of country, design, age, condition, denomination, or history.
Graded Banknotes
Certified notes should stay inside their grading holders. PMG, PCGS, and other graded banknotes are reviewed with the grade and holder details in mind.
Rare and Collectible Notes
Low serial numbers, radar numbers, printing errors, better condition, scarce issues, and collector demand can make certain notes worth a closer look.

Pretty scummy experience and shady tactics. If you’re going to advertise “$12 over spot,” then honor it (check your ads)— because that premium is already ridiculous. On Jan 30, 2026, the price should’ve been around $124 per Silver Maple, yet when I called the store I was quoted $149.
This looks like you’re trying to offload inventory using higher past prices, while you have no problem jacking prices up immediately when spot goes up and it benefits you. Either price it transparently or stop advertising “over spot” like it means something.

This was easily one of the worst coin shop experiences I’ve had. I asked specifically for bullion silver coins and was shown a beaten up Maple coin priced at spot + $20, which is far above normal market pricing. When I pointed out that I can purchase similar silver from my bank at spot + $8, I was told that bank silver is “used,” a claim that does not align with my experience or common understanding.
Every item I looked at carried an excessive premium, including junk silver dollars. Pricing felt misleading and completely out of line with other reputable dealers.
Given this experience, the high overall rating is difficult to understand. I would strongly advise anyone looking for fair, competitive silver pricing to shop elsewhere.

Went in today with my 6 year old son he bought his first silver maple. Staff was super friendly even the security was welcoming as soon as you enter. I brought in collectible coins for them to look at for me. They took their time to explain everything to me. Definitely worth the drive from Georgetown.

Other Items That May Need a Separate Review
Silver coins may carry both metal value and collector value. If you have Silver Maple Leafs, Canadian silver dollars, older silver coins, 1 oz silver coins, or mixed silver coin groups, we review them separately from gold coins.
Gold coins may carry both metal value and collector value. If your group includes Canadian gold coins, world gold coins, Royal Canadian Mint pieces, commemorative coins, or bullion gold coins, we can review them separately from silver coins.
If your collection also includes diamond rings, loose diamonds, jewellery with diamonds, certificates, receipts, or inherited diamond pieces, we can review those items separately from coins and bullion.
Gold bars are reviewed differently from gold coins. Weight, purity, brand, assay card, serial number, packaging, and current market factors usually matter most.
Old Canadian bills may carry face value, collector value, or both. If you have older $1, $2, $25, $500, or $1,000 Canadian bills, we help you understand what may affect value before you redeem or sell them.
If your silver coins are part of a larger album, estate box, mixed coin group, Royal Canadian Mint set, or inherited collection, it may be better to review the full collection together rather than separate pieces too quickly.
