5.0 out of 5 stars Foremost Authority on Canadian Bank Notes, June 3, 2000

This review is from: Canadian Bank Notes (3rd Edition) - The Charlton Standard Catalogue (Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Bank Notes) (Paperback)

If you are a collector of Canadian Bank Notes, this book is an absolute necessity. Currently, there are no other similar resources available.

Newcomers to the hobby often confuse Canadian Bank Notes with currency issued by the Government of Canada. This guide will keep you straight as it lists all the issues from the private banks that no longer exist but once competed with the government in the printing of money. It contains a description of the banks, images of all the notes, as well as book values at various grades from G to UNC.

Even if you are just a casual collector of Bank of Canada issues, this catalogue may peak your interest. I find that the bank notes tend to be more artistic, and they all have historical, cultural and regional significance which makes for an interesting endeavour.
