  • Or Printers' Test Notes
    Printers’ Test Notes – A Primer Or Everything You Wanted to Know About Printers’ Test Notes, But Were Afraid to Ask. Now that The Catalog of Test Notes has been split into two catalogs, one for ATM and related test notes and one for Printer related test notes, I have better means to offer a look at the test notes more familiar to bank note collectors. Printers’ test note are also called advertising, promotional, house, trial, demonstration, and color samples., ATM test notes are often colorful, but notes produced by firms involved in bank note production offer much more sophisticated specimens – showing off their latest security and durability innovations. The avid collector of high tech bank notes will find the most up-to-date notes, actually prototypes of future notes present in a test note collection. So here is a group of questions of which the answers give the collector a good start to a new collecting interest. What different types of firms produce test notes? As Sev Onyshkevych wrote in the IBNS forum, “The "printers" category also includes the entire food chain.” This means any firm contributing to a bank note being produced can also produce a test note. The types of firms which are attributed with test notes so far are: engravers, printers, paper and polymer producers, banknote designers, security ink providers, central banks, security foiling suppliers and substrate providers. Currency counters, sorters, verification machines, dispensers, and legitimate training notes providers also make test notes which make up the inventory in The Catalog of ATM Test Notes. Which firm has produced the most different test notes in the printers catalog? There are four firms with 60 or more different test notes, not including their sub varieties.

  • China's Gifts to the West
    CHINA'S GIFTS TO THE WEST Prepared by Professor Derk Bodde for the Committee on Asiatic Studies in American Education Reprinted with permission in China: A Teaching Workbook, Asia for Educators, Columbia University Introduction An exercise identifying Chinese inventions that we use and enjoy in daily life provides an excellent starting point for discussing both the achievements of the Chinese civilization and China's influence on the West. The article China 's Gifts to the West describes China's inventions of silk, tea, porcelain ("china"), paper, printing, gunpowder, the mariner's compass, medicines, lacquer, games (including cards, dominoes, and kites), and miscellaneous items such as umbrellas, as well as natural resources, such as plants (including peaches, apricots, and citrus fruits) and minerals (including coal and zinc), first discovered and cultivated by the Chinese. Lesson Ideas: For homework, have the students look up several items on the above list in an encyclopedia to see if they can identify their origin. Then use the article China's Gift to the West to enrich the story of how each invention was brought to the West. A second approach might be to assign individual students one invention to read about in China's Gift to the West and report to the class. A separate chapter is devoted to each of the items/inventions in the list above. Foreward In 1940 almost 10,000 new books were printed in the United States. Millions of copies of the 13,000 newspapers in the country were distributed. All of this was possible because we know how to make paper and to print with movable type — inventions which occurred in China.

  • Toronto Coin Expo Spring Sale May 3Rd & 4Th, 2018
    G eoffrey B ell A u c t i o n s Toronto Coin Expo Spring Sale May 3rd & 4th, 2018 Proofs & Specimens Two types of notes that are often confusing to collectors, even seasoned ones, are proof and specimen issues. A proof note is fairly easy to identify, but many are unsure of the reason for their existence. Such banknotes are usually printed on thin India paper, often backed with card stock. They can also be printed right on the card. They will commonly lack any serial number and may sometimes have “specimen” on them. In addition to these characteristics, they are easily spotted because they are usually only printed on one side. A proof note was used to sample or test the printing plates before they were put into use. Specimen banknotes, often confused with proofs, were used to familiarize bank employees, among others, with new notes. They are normally printed, front and back, with the same banknote paper that will be used for circulated notes, making them very similar to regular issues. The word “specimen” will usually appear stamped somewhere on the note, such as the on signature line, or sheet numbering area, or they may be punch cancelled. They will lack manuscript signatures and serial numbers will commonly, but not always, be all zeroes. We have a large offering for your consideration. Brian G eoffrey B ell A u c t i o n s The Bram & Bluma Appel Salon, Toronto Reference Library, Toronto, Ontario Lot viewing will take place May 3rd & 4th, 9:30am – 4:30pm EDT We are proud and excited to conduct our auction in conjunction with the 2018 Spring Toronto Coin Expo.

  • Top 20 Ancient Chinese Inventions
    Top 20 Ancient Chinese Inventions Ancient China held leading positions in many fields in studying nature in the world. Besides the four great inventions – papermaking, printing, gunpowder and the compass, Ancient China contributed countless other inventions to the world, how many other creations do you know? Below is a list of the 20 inventions created by ancient Chinese and some may surprise you. 1. Paper Making 105 A.C The invention of paper greatly affects human history. Paper already existed in China since 105 A.C, however, a eunuch named Cai Lun (ca. 50 AD – 121) made significant innovation and helped drive its widespread adoption. His advanced paper-making technology then spread to central Asia and the world through the Silk Road. For more information: http://www.ipst.gatech.edu/amp/collection/museum_invention_paper.htm 2. Movable Type Printing 960-1279 AD Woodblock printing was already a widely used technique in the Tang Dynasty. However, this kind of printing tech was expensive and time-consuming. Until the Song Dynasty (960-1279), a man named Bi Sheng (990–1051) invented movable type printing, making it quicker and easier. He first carved individual characters on pieces of clay and then harden them with fire. These movable type pieces were later glued to an iron plate to print a page and then broken up and redistributed for another page. This kind of printing tech rapidly spread across Europe, leading up to the Renaissance, and later all around the world. For more information: http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/song/tech/printing.htm 3. Gunpowder 1000 A.D Gunpowder was invented by Chinese Taoist alchemists about 1000 A.D.
