<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1910652, member: 24274&quot;]Through an inter-library loan, I was able to get a look at a scarce publication by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In 1966, to raise awareness of counterfeiting in Canada, the RMPC put out a 16-page booklet simply titled &quot;The Counterfeit Detector.&quot; It&#039;s a neat piece, with descriptions of all manner of design elements and colors of then current Canadian currency, examples of genuine and counterfeit security planchettes, and a die-cut panel in the back for easy comparison of the QE2 portrait on two notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most interesting to me was the centerpiece, printed by British American Bank Note Co., comparing intaglio engraving with offset printing. The panel includes a beautiful vignette, very likely used on obsolete notes, and a lovely portrait of a woman. I&#039;ve seen this somewhere but can&#039;t place it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until I can pick up a copy for my personal library these scans will have to suffice. I thought there might be some interest on this forum, so I&#039;ll share them here.[ATTACH=full]327366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327367[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327368[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327369[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327370[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
