<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2113569, member: 19250&quot;]Just like notes issued in the United&nbsp; States , many Canadian&nbsp; early notes were actually&nbsp; issued by banks and not the government .These notes were eliminate&nbsp; by the 1940&#039;s.</p><p>Fractional&nbsp; notes with face values less than one Canadian&nbsp; dollar were common into the twentieth&nbsp; century . Frequently&nbsp; found in very worn conditions.</p><p>The first note posted a 25 cent note I really like as it an error and I question&nbsp; how many handled&nbsp; this note knowing it was an error.</p><p>Another time bit on the 1954 Canadian&nbsp; series of notes , is that the 20,000 and 1000 dollar notes were counterfeits.</p><p>Many Canadian&nbsp; notes have small colored discs &quot;plachets&quot;</p><p>that are embedded in the paper,as a counterfeit&nbsp; deterrent .</p><p>Any notes which these &quot;plachets &quot; are printed on are counterfeit&nbsp; notes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
