If you could see anything from the Currency Museum
« on: August 07, 2006, 10:45:00 am »
[size=14]If you could see anything you wanted from the Bank of Canada's National Currency Collection...
... What would you want to see?[/size]

This is just a theorhetical question to all you dreamers out there... What is on your mind? What would you just love to get your paws on, even for a moment? Open your minds... Even items not regularly on display... What do you want to see?

For me, I'd love to see the JPH or BJW Journey $100s, or maybe some of those elusive "Bank Legals".

My dream wish list...

#1) Notes that aren't suppose to be out there:
ie- 1954 $50 C/H
and the super rare *V/V or *C/I $1.00 and *Z/Z $2.00 the E/R test

#2)"Good Overs" such as the $10 EET,
the scarce Bird $2 T/C AUG to AUN signatures, and the $5.00 B/T HNB

And #3) the old rare varieties:
Any 37 or 35 special numbers (low, radar, million, etc)

Nice Dominions:
-Dominion $1.00 or $2.00 in AU to UNC
-1924 Queen Mary $5.00 in AU to UNC
-1900-1902 Fours

I'm pretty sure that Brent's $2 note is his own creation in PhotoShop and not a real thing from the BoC.

Brent, sometimes I have no idea if you are pulling my leg...  Dam that straight face of yours. Well, on msn I guess it is hard to tell.  
Now I am REALLY confused! :o

Here is the reverse image.

But please, let's get back on the topic of what you would just go nuts to see if you had the chance. I am quite curious which numismatic gems would tickle you all pink if you had the chance to see them.
