Canadian Bank Notes from 1969 to 1975
Canadian Bank Notes from 1969 to 1975.
Because of concern over counterfeiting, the Bank of Canada released a new series of bank notes starting in 1969.
This series represented a complete departure in design from earlier issues:
- colourful, wavy patterns were introduced;
- a new series of Canadian scenic vignettes was created;
- portraits of former Canadian prime ministers were re-introduced.
The main characteristic of the new design was the use of multicoloured tints beneath the dominant colour. This series was often dubbed the "multicoloured series".
