Title: Royal Bank $20 1933
Post by: Bernard_Schaaf on April 19, 2007, 02:15:21 am

Hello again, friends:
                      As you all know, I am collecting images of Canada notes  (fronta AND backs), including the chartered bank notes :),  which  images I am accumulating in albums.  Just today I notice that I have never run across an image of a Royal Bank 1933 $20 note-----is this considered to be a "rare note?"  :o    Can anyone send me a high-resolution images of front and back of one of these notes??
                      Thank you all for the help.                 Bernard Schaaf

Dear Bernard

This note is still not known to be in existence. If you ever found a picture of a fully signed one it would most likely prove that the note is a one of a kind. It would be a find of immense proportion as this bank is extremely popular.

Dear Bernard

Just to clarify things. Do you mean you find the actual note or the picture of the specimen in the National Currency Museum?

Friends;
              Please excuse my ambiguity:    I  found the IMAGE of the BoC museum  specimen,   NOT an actual banknote.  I apologize if I got anybody overexcited.   
             By the way, I was able to capture a nice high-resolution image of that particular banknote, but  am unable to get high-res  images of any of the other notes.      Am I doing something wrong??         Bernard
