Hi everyone,
Happy Family Day weekend
Our next North Shore Numismatic Society Meeting is next Tuesday, February 19th. The meeting is held in the Multipurpose Room in the Bonsor 55+ Senior Centre in Burnaby. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the meeting start at 7:00 pm. The meeting is open to both members and non-members, so everyone is welcome.
Program: Michael Souza will present a PowerPoint entitled “Guess the Country – Quiz #13”. He will provide with one side of a coin or banknote and a multiple choice of three countries. All you have to do is select which country issued the coin or banknote. Simple, right? Mike will provide pencils and papers.
Please don’t forget to bring your floor submissions for the auction and bring small change to facilitate your purchases.

*Money Musuem has fascinating history around Shinplasters:
“Shinplasters” – Canada’s Beloved 25-Cent Notes
http://www.moneymuseum.ca/stories_shinplasters.php
“The banks were opposed to the introduction of paper “shinplasters,” but the fact that they were redeemable in gold when presented in quantity went a long way toward making the fractional notes acceptable.”
