Canadian Tire Money

Last fall, my car was dying everyday and I needed a new battery. My dad gives me this wad of money and says, Here, buy yourself one. Clearly I never bought the battery because HOW THE HELL COULD I EVER GET RID OF THIS AMAZINGLY INSANE COLLECTION OF BILLS?!?


The original amount totalled $38.80. After adding my own stray bills, I now have exactly $41.65 in cold, hard, car-part redeemable cash. 32 x 5¢, 33 x 10¢, 19 x 25¢, 20 x 50¢, 18 x $1 and 2 x $2. I feel like I should be the ambassador of traditional Canadian rewards programs. I also am amazed that my father has spent $3,880 there over the course of God knows how long. Probably a few years, at least. Well, hopefully the bills will make prop appearances in short films before I spend all of it at the bar in Victoria that accepts it at face value (which obviously will never happen because I could not bear to part with more than a buck).
