  You may have more than face value in your glovebox.

Canadian Tire 'Money' is printed using the same process as legal
tender including the latest anti-counterfeiting technology. Canadian
Tire 'Money' has the same paper content and spot marks -- including a
latent image of a maple leaf to the right side of Sandy McTire's left
ear. Because the coupons feel like real money, people typically keep
Canadian Tire 'Money' even if they don't use it right away.

There is even a Canadian Tire Coupon Collectors Club, whose members
collect and trade various editions of the 'Money' bills. According to
one of the club's members, some of the bills are worth up to $800 in
value.
