Neat eBay pickup today: $1 Currency Bands featuring change over to $1 Coin
« on: October 28, 2010, 09:49:37 pm »
I saw these and thought they were pretty neat, so I picked them up =) These gummed currency bands were made for $1 Notes and feature some information printed in the center regarding the change over to the $1 Coin. Cool little piece of history

I agree, that is a neat little piece of history.  I haven't seen anything like it before either.

Hi Wizard,

Would you be kind enough to type out the text on the bands?  I have bad eyes...I'm getting old!  :)

Thanks,
Dean

It says:

MANAGE THE CHANGE !

As of June 30, 1989, the Bank of Canada will cease issuing the $1 note.

BE READY FOR THE CHANGE !

ORDER AND USE THE NEW COIN NOW !
