25 -Cent Shin Plasters
Gradually E:.apears
For more than a generation
youngsters have been getting cash
gifts from aunts and granparents
in the malls through the medium of
the "shin plaster" which just fitted
an envelope nicely.
But the Canadian government no
longer issues tbese 25 cent bills
and, what is more, is gradually re-
calling all those which come into its
possession through the Bank of
Canada. Issue of these notes was
_stopped about five years ago.
Local banks, and several other of_
fices which Require a considerable
amount of cash, hoard these bills
for the convenience of customers.
It Is often possible to dig up one or
two on a trip around these banks
and offices,
As no new bills are being issued
those still in circulation are getting
buite ragged and soon will have la
be sent in for cancellation. The '
time is not far distant when these
little cash gifts will have to be sent
in the foram, of postal notes, which
is probably the government's aim.
