    Very occasionally I get the urge to buy some paper as I am almost exclusively into coins, but I do keep a little folder and whenever something strikes my fancy, which isn't very often but has now happened for the second time in as many years, I add another piece to my folder. I was talking to my dealer and we were discussing some such thing and canadian coinage came up and I somehow got conned into stacking all his canadian by denomination and year for him. Well, while going through it I came across these two pieces a 1954 devils note $1 and a 25C fractional note from the American banknote company. I haggled a bit and we finally settled on $10, if I would take a beat up 1937 canadian 1 bill. It was soooooo beat up I didn't even bother taking pics of it, it'll end up being a stocking stuffer this year I think.

    Very cool! I don't have a devil note in my collection, although I have had opportunities.
    Dare I ask if you are aware of the shinplaster nickname BQ? interesting nickname if you haven't.

    I was aware of the Shinplaster name but I don't know how they came up with that as a name...
