Title: Chartered Bank Note Printing Plates
Post by: badger69_no1 on November 14, 2005, 11:08:55 pm

  What would be the value today of a set of paper note printing plates used by a chartered bank around 1930?

Whoa!  You know someone who has the actual printing plates that were used to make the banknotes for a Chartered bank??  I would think these would be priceless; maybe a post with a picture of the plates and/or more of a description would help us gauge a value - e.g. which bank, what denomination, what signature combination, what year etc.

Since chartered notes are still legal tender in Canada I would think that the RCMP may have an interest in ensuring that such plates are not used to make new notes.
