Newmismatist Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 10:48 am I'm a coin guy who knows very little about paper money. I've had this Canadian note for years and would be interested in knowing what folks make of it. The paper it's printed on almost feels like fabric. The note measures roughly 18 X 8 centimeters.

coincollect1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1731 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 2:47 pm On the site that John gave us, the picture only has 1 signature. Is the first signature Saunders? Report this Post to the Staff

Terry-T Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 5:46 pm The left signature looks like RdAoust (R. d'Aoust). I believe this would be R. Daoust today. a common French name (pronounced da-ooh ;the da like in dad, the ooh like ooh-la-la). Report this Post to the Staff
Newmismatist Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 6:26 pm You've all been very helpful. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 02:35 am Note the left sig has faded to brown. That's because it was signed by hand with pen ink, while the right sig is printed in the same black printer's ink as the rest of the note. I read somewhere that printing ink is so solid you can bounce a ball of it on the floor without losing any. Report this Post to the Staff
