News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I am now doing the two I banks and I have a couple of questions. 
               RE  The  International Bank of Canada:   I  have  not been  able  to  locate  any  images  of  the  $1 Falls  and  the  $5  varieties  with  TWO signatures
and  WITH  colored  protectors.      Were  any  such  notes  actually issued??
              RE  La  Banque  Internationale du  Canada  1911  notes:   it  was  my  understanding  that  only  a  few  $5's  were  actually  circulated  and  that  these  notes  are  now  fairly  scarce,  but  that  NO  $10's  or  $20's  ever  circulated (although   I  have  found  an  image of  what  appears  to  be  a  circulated  $10);    it  is  further  my  understanding  that  Specimens  of  these 1911  notes  are  relatively  common.   Am  I  correct  in  my  understanding??
                  Thank you  all  for your  help.                    Bernard

I would not conclude that notes were never issued for circulation simply on the basis that no issued notes are now known to survive.  If a bank had notes printed, they were very likely circulated as well, as long as the bank was able actually to go into business.  (Exceptions such as the Consolidated Bank $10s were withheld from circulation because of a major theft.) 
It is known that the Imperial Bank of Canada $100 1923 issue was circulated, for example, yet none are known now; likewise the Union Bank of Halifax 1904 Trinidad issue.
I suspect the Banque Internationale $20 notes also circulated but were completely withdrawn.  (Both $5 and $10 are known as issued notes.) 
Sometimes notes thought to be long extinct do turn up - watch for your Dec. CPMS Newsletter!

To  Fried Squid:    Thank you for the image.  Alas, the one I need is the variety with lines for two signatures (at left and right) but bearing only one signature (at left).
Nevertheless I appreciate your effort to help me.
To  Bob:   Thank you for the info,  especially for the mention of the two specific notes.  My old catalogue does sometimes mention that a note was  then   apparently known only as a "Face Proof" or as a "Specimen," yet I have nevertheless  been able to locate an image of an apparently circulated note,  presumably a  more recent discovery.   You  mention that a forthcoming CPMS pub will mention more such notes;  alas, I have no easy access to  those  previous CPMS pubs  listing such notes nor can I afford future  pubs  simply because a particular edition may (or may not) have such info.    Would  it  be possible for you to send me a comprehensive list of  those  notes now known  to have circulated but  formerly listed as "Specimen?"  (If you prefer to send it privately rather than by E-mail, please feel free to do so.)   I  am  now working in the J's,  on  La  Banque Jacques Cartier.   It  is  my understanding that the highest publicly-known price ever yet paid for a chartered bank note was for a note fo this bank---am  I  correct??

P.S.  I am having major computer problems and may have to be off-line for a week or two.    Happy  Thanksgiving to all.

These notes are in the National Currency Collection.
Both notes do exist with two signatures and red protectors as well but are extremely rare.
