While I was back in Michigan last week I made a pilgrimage to the local coin store and asked what kind of paper money they had in stock. Turns out...
I think this may be the first pre-Confederation Canadian obsolete note I've ever seen. Fantastic!
I did some checking on the Insatu Choyokai Foundation website, using a clunky Google translation. It looks like there were 1,500 cards issued this...
Great stuff! I'll share this info with the Souvenir Card Collectors Society.
Way cool Tokyo card, Chris! The printing looks so crisp -- is it intaglio? The Educationals are some of my favorite cards, affordable even if the...

And I don't mean denomination -- I mean physical size. I just saw one posted that was the size of a legal-sized sheet of paper! Just a single...

This would qualify as a contemporary souvenir card. There's an extensive thread on this subject you might enjoy:...
Here's another portrait proof I picked up not long ago of Thomas Ewing, Treasury Secretary in 1841 and Secretary of the Interior in 1849-50. It's...
