President’s Message

2015--2016 EXECUTIVE Greetings and welcome to all Ingersoll Coin Club members to the 554th meeting.

President Ron Culbert At this time, I would like everyone to pay their respects in their own way to our Life Member #9 Aulis Koslonen, past treasurer and a director of the Club. He was a well decorated man as a cross country skier in Finland and Canada. He was always the first one at the meetings Past President but a very quiet individual. Most of us are not sure what all he collected. Neil Macaulay At the April1st Indoor Yard Sale, here at The Senior Centre, our Club had a kids table that Vice President was well attended and I personally had a hoot dealing with the kids who are like a sponge Toby Grimminck when it comes to free money. There were some $1 notes donated and the older kids were

awed by them as they only know loonies and were going home to do some research. Each Treasurer and child was sent home with coin cardboard sets from the mint, a small bag of Canadian coins Membership and some foreign coins as well. The information and appraisal table was steady as well with a variety of coins brought in for Dave Pommer identification and value. (continued on page 2). 519-539-4640

Message from the President (Continued from the previous page)

The quarter exhibit as well as the 2 cases of interesting exhibits were viewed frequently and well received.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their generous donations as well as those who helped man the tables. It was an awesome time.

There is to be a change in our auction format from now on (similar to the January Auction) which should speed up our efficiency and allow us larger auctions or more time for presentations. Our presentation this month is to be a new PowerPoint presentation of LNS which is to be a mystery until meeting time.

The auctions will be conducted by each bidder having a pink personally numbered card that must be raised to bid and the successful bidder will be recorded by the two or three computer inputters. There will be no need for runners, which will speed things up and cut down on some of the confusion where someone is paying and may miss out on the next item being offered. After the conclusion of the auction the winning bidders will go to one of the computer inputters to confirm their purchases and receive their list and total, then proceed to Dave Pommer to pay the total purchases and then proceed to the table to retrieve and confirm all their purchases. then they are free to continue with fellowship, help put tables and chairs away if needed, and then mosey on home.

Remember to attend the ONA in Kitchener next Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday as there is many dealers that are not usually at the small local shows.

Ron Culbert

New Issue: Bank of Canada unveils fourth-ever commemorative banknote in celebration of Canada 150 BY JESSEJAMES 1 DAY AGO

0

For the first time, four individuals are portrayed on the obverse of a Canadian banknote: Sir John A. Macdonald; Sir George-Étienne Cartier; Agnes Macphail; and James Gladstone.

A $10 commemorative banknote celebrating the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation was unveiled by the Bank of Canada today in Ottawa. The new note was revealed by bank Governor Stephen Poloz and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance Ginette Petitpas Taylor during a ceremony at the bank’s headquarters at 245 Sparks St. in Ottawa. The note—only the fourth commemorative banknote in the bank’s 83-year history—will enter into circulation on June 1. “This bank note is intended to captivate our imagination and instil pride in what we, as a nation, have accomplished,” said Poloz, who added the note showcases Canadian history, land and culture. “It celebrates the natural beauty and majesty of our land and some of the important parliamentarians who helped shape our great country.” According to the bank, this latest issue is unique in many ways. For the first time, four individuals are portrayed on the front of a Canadian bank note: Sir John A. Macdonald; Sir George-Étienne Cartier; Agnes Macphail; and James Gladstone or Akay-na-muka, his Blackfoot name. With Parliament’s Hall of Honour in the background, these four parliamentarians remind us Canada has been shaped by the vision, courage and effort of people of different backgrounds.

56th Year INGERSOLL COIN CLUB BULLETIN APRIL 2017 Meeting No. 554

The note’s reverse (shown) depicts five different landscapes representing Canada’s various regions.

Upon circulation, the commemorative note will mark the first time a Canadian woman and an Indigenous Canadian are depicted as portrait subjects on a Bank of Canada note. The design also incorporates Inuit and Metis cultural elements: a colourful reproduction of the artwork Owl’s Bouquet by world-renowned Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak; and the distinctive arrow sash pattern, an important symbol of the Métis nation. The Canada 150 note also showcases Canada’s natural beauty on its reverse. The five different landscapes representing the various regions of Canada include the Lions/Twin Sisters in Western Canada; a wheat field in Prairie provinces; the Canadian Shield in Central Canada; Cape Bonavista in Eastern Canada; and the Northern lights in Northern Canada. ‘DIVERSITY IS OUR GREATEST STRENGTH’ “Canada’s diversity is our greatest strength,” said Petitpas Taylor. “As we celebrate Canada 150 we are reminded of what makes us who we are—from our shared history, to our cultures and languages to the breathtaking natural beauty that is instantly recognized around the world. On behalf of the Government of Canada I thank Governor Poloz and the Bank of Canada for their contribution to this truly national celebration.” The commemorative $10 note also has new security features, including a colour-shifting arch depicting an arch found in the Memorial Chamber on Parliament Hill as well as three-dimensional maple leaves. A comprehensive consultation process was undertaken by the bank to ensure the new commemorative note reflects the input of Canadians. The ideas and suggestions received through public opinion research, consultation and focus groups influenced the note’s content and were incorporated into the design.

56th Year INGERSOLL COIN CLUB BULLETIN APRIL 2017 Meeting No. 554

The bank is expected to issue 40 million of the new $10 commemorative notes starting June 1. The goal is to have the notes widely circulated by Canada Day.

TO BE BROADLY AVAILABLE ACROSS CANADA BY JULY 1 Starting in June, the bank will issue 40 million of these commemorative notes and distribute them through financial institutions to be broadly available across Canada by July 1. The Canada 150 note will circulate alongside the current Polymer series $10 note but does not replace it. Both the current $10 note and the commemorative $10 note are of equal value and can be used interchangeably in transactions. As announced in December, human rights and freedoms icon Viola Desmond will be featured on a new $10 note, which will mark another historic first: Desmond will become the first Canadian woman to be featured on a regularly circulating Bank of Canada bank note, expected in late 2018.

This was the first commemorative banknote issued by the Bank of Canada. It honoured King George V’s Silver Jubilee.

BANK’S FOURTH COMMEMORATIVE BANKNOTE Since its inception, the Bank of Canada has only issued three commemorative banknotes—one on Sept. 9, 2015, when the Queen became the longest-reigning sovereign in Canada’s modern era; one in 1967 to honour the 100th anniversary of Confederation; and another, the first, in 1935 to mark the Silver Jubilee of King George V.
