Called BMO Harris in US, they said they could get me $100 in Canadian fund. The redemption of this coin is not a big issue.

I highly recommend not to take these to the banks, as their are lots of collectors that are willing to give you $100 for the coin.

Can I redeem a collector coin at a bank or use it as currency to purchase goods or services?
All coins manufactured by the Mint are legal tender. However, unlike Canadian circulation coins, collector coins are non-circulating legal tender (NCLT). As such, these coins are not intended for daily commercial transactions and accepting them as payment or for redemption is at the discretion of businesses and financial institutions.

The Mint has a process in place to reimburse financial institutions the face value of redeemed NCLT coins, once they have accepted them from a customer and returned them to the Mint. In the event a bank branch is unaware of this procedure, customers are advised to contact the Mint with the coordinates of the bank branch, which will take steps to inform the branch of the redemption process.

As collector coins can only be redeemed at face value by businesses and financial institutions willing to accept them, it is recommended that individuals wishing to sell a collector coin first consult with a coin dealer, who is more likely to offer a price above face value.

*******in bought 3 of each 20 for 20 coins–and bought my first 10oz silver bar with the extras at a coin store–they will buy them from you at face value or greater

Dear All, Please beware that banks and businesses are not obliged to accept the $100 coin as $100 worth of cash despite the legal tender nominal of $100. So, buyer's beware. Read about story here.

For whatever reason, the product page for this particular item now reads, Phone Only.” Does this mean they’re close to a sell out or has the RCM website ordering undergoing some form of maintenance?

Would just be great to know if I’m getting into a $500, $1000 or $10,000 series…
