It&#039;s National Currency Collection is unsurpassed with a number of Canadian banknotes that are unique. Fortunately, the Museum has scanned it&#039;s entire collection and made it publicly accessible online at <a href="http://www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/collection/browse/view/9/note" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/collection/browse/view/9/note" rel="nofollow">www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/collection/browse/view/9/note</a>. The collection numbers in the thousands and I haven&#039;t even surfed through a third of it yet (but I plan to!). If you have any interest in Canadian paper money -- or even just the art of bank note engraving -- spend a few hours clicking through these images. You will not be disappointed.</p><p><br /></p><p>A great many Canadian notes were produced by American Bank Note Co. or it&#039;s subsidiary, Canadian Bank Note Co.

Here are a handful of the match-ups I found in my collection and I continue to find more...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/collection/images/1963,0014,00098,000,a1,2d0006.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]685962[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]685963[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/collection/images/1963,0014,00100,000,a1,2d0006.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]685961[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/collection/images/1964,0037,00007,000,a1,2d0035.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]685965[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]685966[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>I matched the front AND back on this one:</p><p><img src="http://www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/collection/images/1963,0014,00019,000,a1,2d0024.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]685968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]685970[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/collection/images/1963,0014,00019,000,b1,2d0024.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]685974[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]685976[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
