The Bank of Nova Scotia was an unusually aggressive expander among Canadian chartered banks, pushing into the Caribbean and Latin America well before most of its peers. Notes from this long-running series circulated not only across the Maritime provinces but through branch networks in Jamaica and Cuba — a reminder that Canadian chartered bank currency in this period had a geographic reach that federal Bank of Canada notes, introduced in 1935, would eventually kill off entirely.
The American Bank Note Company held the printing contract throughout the series run, working from New York. High-denomination chartered bank notes of this period suffered significant attrition; most $100 examples were redeemed promptly and destroyed by the issuing bank rather than left in public hands.
