It must be pretty costly for you to seek out and spend only those notes which say "will pay to the bearer on demand". It doesn't matter if notes say "will pay to the bearer on demand", they are still worth face value unless the Series and/or condition of the notes carries a numismatic premium that the collector/dealer market values them at and is willing to pay you for them.
