You got it trig, didn't fall for my distraction. Good job, but you did need a nudge or 2.

Story time....mcshilling will back me. These coupons were dished out at the till every time you shopped at Canadian Tire, and everyone shopped at Canadian tire. What you got depended on the amount you spent, but always guaranteed a 5 cent'r. Not legal tender, but that didn't stop it from having value. Full face if redeemed in store, but black market had some deals. I've seen $100.00 CT money turn into $50 Canadian. I rode an ice-cream bike growing up and took CT money at par, with a tip of course. It was widely used a lot. Our neighbourhood cars got rifled one night, we all reported it. Months down the road I got a call from the cops. They busted the thieves because my report included the wad of CT money they took. It was over 100 bucks, and I had a rough break down of the denominations. The benefit of this bust, was me getting all the change from every vehicle as well. I felt bad, but the cops said they couldn't divy it up properly, so I was handed it all. My CT money was there too.

trig, I played this for you you know. Canadian Tire was thee place to get your car parts. . Glad you got it.

I forgot the pics. I hunted through my stack to find a 75th Anniversary one to give you guys, and me, a chance. This was the only one.

Oz, I can't believe I caught you on Numista. It was not intended, but sure was fun.

When we went down into the US and went to a bar at night we used $1 Canadian Tire money to buy drinks.

Ed, it wasn't a "tire" coupon, it was a sort of a points gathering card you have now, but you got it in hand before you left the store. Literally, 2 cash drawers opened up with a purchase, one for your Canadian currency change, then the lower one was full of "tire" coupons for your purchase. I don't think it was a high percentage, but you got "money" back to only spend in their store.

I believe we had something like that in the past in Dutch supermarkets.
You could buy grocery "stamps", say $0.10 for each $1 you spend on groceries. You would glue those in a booklet and when the booklet was full with say 100 stamps, you got $11 in discounts (10% return).

Thanks Loonie, as a long time parts man, I appreciate that.
You guys probably get your parts from NAPA these days. They own us down under too now. Thanks the back story too.

Ed, we had something similar in the UK, green shield stamps.

I think you were too good to us.

OK, let's start the next round. I'm ready.
