Also, there are eight floor-mounted cases housing the Museum&#8217;s major banknote exhibits and other collectibles. In the first case are the original Articles of Association which formed the Montreal Bank on November 3, 1817.<br \/>\nThe successive cases take visitors on a brief tour of the paper money of both the Bank and the Bank of Canada, illustrating some of the highlights of the history of Canada&#8217;s banknotes. One display shows an 1817 $20-note of the Montreal Bank, its first year of operation and signed by both its president, John Gray and its cashier, Robert Griffin. The time period then jumps quickly ahead: one case has a 1942 $5-note from the Bank&#8217;s last issue, before The Bank of Canada Act of 1934 required chartered banks to give up their right to issue currency. In between the bank&#8217;s first and last issues, there is an extremely rare 1844 $3-note issued by the Bank, one of two known.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-c4fglpc-be631b88bbe8be19de322fe1b3709111\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-c4fglpc-be631b88bbe8be19de322fe1b3709111{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-c4fglpc-be631b88bbe8be19de322fe1b3709111 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltmv2bhm-fe88c2a2e4b542793d88e925d9a3d202 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Canada&#8217;s Central Bank<\/h2>\n<p>The nation&#8217;s central bank, the Bank of Canada, was created in 1934, and issued its first notes in 1935. On display is a $2-note bearing the portrait of Queen Mary. The unusual feature about this note is that this series was the only one to have two separate notes for each denomination; the French-language note is shown. The next series, issued in 1937, was the first bi-lingual issue, and is represented by a $2-note with the portrait of King George VI.<\/p>\n<p>The third issue, following the death of King George VI in 1952, was released in 1954 with the portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II on all denominations from $1 to $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>As the $1-note ceased being issued in 1989, replaced with a $1-coin, the Bank of Canada in 1996 stopped issuing the $2-note and replaced it with a bi-metallic $2-coin, affectionately nicknamed the &#8220;Toonie.&#8221; The last case is devoted to illustrating the differences between genuine banknotes and confiscated counterfeits, generally defined by the poor quality of the paper, the imprint, and the engraved portraits.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-914lcgw-ac0ace674d309e1c2095429acdc37dcb\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-914lcgw-ac0ace674d309e1c2095429acdc37dcb{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-914lcgw-ac0ace674d309e1c2095429acdc37dcb hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltmv2xf0-57b8a5aa81d77f8e64612d7ec547a78b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Mechanical Savings Banks<\/h2>\n<p>The Museum also has on display several mechanical &#8220;piggy&#8221; savings banks.
