chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 10:08 pm I remembered some photos I took on my trip to the Bank of Montreal Museum in 2009 and thought I'd share. Although not a big museum, I'd recommend it as a stop if you're in Montreal. As an ex-employee of the bank, it brought back memories and was cool to see the design on so many of the bank's devices in person on the building.

Paisa Valued Member Canada 387 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 6:24 pm Very thoughtful. As someone interested in built structures on numismatic material it was good to see your point of view about the BoM building. Thx. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 10:43 pm Looks like a very interesting place .. As dialog asked .. could this be the same building on my early Canadian bank tokens? Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 08/08/2013 07:27 am It can't be the same building as the Lower Canada "side view" tokens of 1839 or the Province of Canada tokens since, I believe, this building wasn't built until 1847. The Bank of Montreal is Canada's oldest operating bank. I'm unsure of the location of the building on the tokens. Report this Post to the Staff

168Bagua New Member Hong Kong 32 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 11:38 pm I can't believe that, that building is the BMO museum. If I'm not mistaken this is the one across Notre Dame? If so the map said it was like military arms building until now... I was in Montreal last week, this would have been one of my highlights! Report this Post to the Staff
