Quoted from Chromizone

There's one here in Toronto too...Called the Done-right if I remember correctly (I was a little drunk last I was there...) They always have a pinball machine at the end of the bar too. Decent little dive bar.

Does that mean you can play pins with canadian tire money?

Quoted from Sparky

Read what it says on the bills:

THIS IS NOT LEGAL TENDER

So photocopy away...

Actually that wouldn't work.  CT money is printed the same way real money is and on the same paper.  Photocopiers have built in copy protection and won't copy it.  You'll just get a streak or a pattern instead of the bill.

Did you actually tried to copy the CT money?

Quoted from Sparky

Here's a thought... instead of giving your CT money to this moron for half it's worth, why don't you just SPEND your Canadian Tire money at.... get ready for it.....

CANADIAN TIRE!!!! For FULL VALUE!!!

Holy crap! Now THERE is a concept!!!!

"too hard" I gotta go to CT, look trough the flyer or just walk around to pick something up... too much work

Quoted from SquidVicious

I think pawn shops have been offering this kind of deal for years for CT money

Agreed.
the pawn shops on Church st. Toronto used to do this in the 90's. I saw this alot when buying Dj equipment.

CT is always TWICE the price then anywhere else.  So in doing this you’re just breaking even.  CT has terrible return polices and I only shop there ONLY if I have to.  And I do have their Master card also.  Why do you think they can mark down on sale tools by half and sometimes 2/3?  I only shop out of the flyer.

Here is an example
Looking for a 12 point tool set.  They only had their professional line with these.  The sales person informed me if I was using their professional set ‘professionally’ that the lifetime warranty is null and void Dunno).

Twice the price? Dunno about that, like anywhere else, I try and wait for the sales and usually do well. Picked up 4 2-door cabinets a few months ago, they were dirt cheap!

On the counterfeit thing, its obviously not an option and I'm not suggesting anyone try it, just curious if anyone has..  I'm thinking that the costs of printing them would negate it being worth while; aren't CT money usually small denominations? (do they actually have any $20 CT money?).

Thats my point if you buy it on sale you can do ok.  But if you buy when it's not on sale you get it good .

I saw an episode of Dateline last year where they were running a dragnet operation for stolen goods. One guy they caught was selling "real" counterfeit $100.00 bills. They actually got a hidden camera in while he was demonstrating his technique. He was taking a US $5 bill, putting it through chemicals and scrubbing off all the ink, leaving a dirty looking blank. He then ran the paper through a good quality colour inkjet printer on both sides and "voila", it's now a $100.00 bill on the proper silk paper.

Then, he was selling those at a discount.

Quoted from Vengeance

They already are, I've got the CT Mastercard, every purchase I get CT Money, it's the best free rewards card I've ever had, I've gotten like $400 or more in CT money just from making the same everyday purchases I was going to be making anyway.  I never even see the paper CT money anymore.  

Yap ! On top of it , you get airmiles rewards / petro-canada / eko or what ever other places that has some kind of reward program ... 2 in 1 deal . Also , if you read my previous coment above , you ' ll be able to spend it anywhere you like ...

Quoted from Splitskull

Did you actually tried to copy the CT money?

No, but I guarantee it will not work.  Try it!  It's not like the RCMP will be at your door if you do

It would've been much easier to just buy the paper.. paper mills will sell it, no problem.  It's called "banknote" paper.  It's what CT money is printed on    

We've bought it before here at my work to print some "fake bill"-like coupons on.  Looks and feels just like the real thing
