1973 Canadian $1.00 Bill!


                                              Just as a forewarning I speak Canadian.

This, like the British 2 Shillings I posted aboot yesterday, was a gift. I don't know much aboot Canadians or their country, but they do have beautiful currency. The nice, vibrant colours and the reverse are amazing. At a time American bills were like this with all sorts of fancy designs and the denomination on the bill at least 10 times. Now they have colours, but they could use some design changes. Cheque out down below for the rest of the post.
This is that same reverse just enlarged. It depicts well... this. It immediately reminded me of the 1914 American  $10.00 bill which has what looks to be a horse drawn plow on the left and a factory on the right. Back to this Canadian Bill it is only worth $1.00.

  1. Collectors in Canada pay a premium on these bills, worth more than $1.00 here, but the reason is that Canadians give more value to their own stuff, makes sense. These bills are pretty, but the new ones are even cooler, made from polymer and so far only the $50 and $100 is out now, but the $20 is coming soon and the other two are coming out next year! Nice post!
