The #1 note looks VG to Fine, #2 & #3 looks Fine as both seem a bit too soiled for VF (maybe VF20 for #2 note). Tough to say for sure from just photos. Helps if you pick up the note to determine how limp (or opposite- to how “crisp/sturdy”). VF needs to be quite crisp or sturdy (like original).
The 1973 $1.00 looks EF (Extra Fine) to me but may be VF+ (that's like a VF35). Again, it is so. hard to say from an image but from what I can see/tell, it looks like a very nice note with minor circulation.
The polymers all look around “Fine” to me as they've had extensive wear. If I were you, I'd ask my local bank teller if they have any new notes & try to get better ones then the ones you've posted. Shouldn't be too hard (except for the “150” commemorative $10) but I have come across better ones in my change. Getting a nicer $20 might be a challenge as they're only being released new in a trickle but the Fives & new vertical Ten should be no problem.
For the Canadian polymer banknotes, they come from my local bank. The guy at the cashier give me the less used ones he had. I did manage to get another 20$ with different signature at the ATM, but it's also a Fair grade. Oh well, I don't mind used banknotes, as long as the damage is not too great (unreadable legends, rips, missing parts). Same thing for coins and tokens.
That remind me of that 1 Anna coin I had ordered for dirt cheap on ebay and I didn’t keep it in the end cause it was way too damaged. Revere side was ok-ish, thought the color was darkened, but the obverse was pretty bad. I brought another one in better condition. Not the same type but I don’t mind.
The “too damaged” 1 Anna - 1935.
The other one I ordered - 1944.
UPDATE: Find one 1935 in better condition & in my budget. Ordered it today.
