The new notes will be put into circulation from time to time as worn and soiled notes of the old issue are withdrawn. It will thus be some time before the new notes have completely replaced the old. Banks will have limited quantity for distribution in the introductory period. As you come into possession of the number of new features. new notes you will be aware of In general the new design is less ornate and this simplicity contributes to easier recognition of the various denominations. It also makes if easier to distinguish a genuine note from an attempt at forgery. Other changes include the placing of the portrait of Queen Elizabeth at the right hand side of the note. In this position the engraving of the portrait will not be subject to the wear from the constant folding of notes through the center. The allegorical figures which appear on the back panels of the present issue are now re­ placed by engravings from photographs of various types of Canadian countryside. The notes are printed by new processes which give them a distinctive “feel**. The colours of the various denominations are approximately the same as at present but close examination will show that the colour on the face of each note results from the combination of two colours printed one over the other.

Many people ask “Is there not some special means of distinguishing genuine bank notes from counterfeits?'* The answer is that there are a great many means—singly and in com­ bination—so many that a full description could be confusing and would only help those who might attempt to counterfeit. The best means of distinguishing genuine bank notes from suspected notes is the simplest, namely—compare a suspected note side-by- side with one known to be genuine. Even small variations—no one of which might be notice­ able by itself—will usually combine to produce an easily distinguishable difference in general appearance. Good notes look “good” because of the skilled craftsmanship behind them. As you come Into possession of the new bank notes, study them to become familiar with their general appearance. This will help safeguard one of Canada's most important facilities —your currency. CANADA By Roe Farms Service Dept
