walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2571 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 6:05 pm 1911 (Lord & lady Gray) and 1917 (Princess Patricia) $1.00 notes are the much larger Dominion of Canada issue (sometimes referred to as "horse blankets" for their size). The first BOC issues started in 1935, and in an effort to save money, were reduced to 6 X 2 7/8 inches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff

Thank you walk2water." - yes -it's a nice amusing slang term which considering their size is probably suitable. See image below of the 2 notes supper-imposed (back of 1937 BOC $1 over a 1923 DOC $1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
