| Comments |
Banque Scolaire notes were pedagogical instruments issued for use in Quebec classrooms, designed to teach children the mechanics of banking and commercial transactions. This 1 Dollar piece is among the smaller-denomination examples from the 1920 series, printed by F.E.C. in Montreal — almost certainly Fides Engraving Company or a closely related Montreal trade printer of the period, though the full firm name remains unconfirmed in the standard references.
These notes never held legal tender status and circulated only within the school environment for which they were produced. Survivors are scarce simply because nobody thought to preserve classroom ephemera.
