| Comments |
Banque Scolaire notes were pedagogical instruments issued by the Quebec Catholic school system, not monetary instruments in any legal sense. Students deposited small sums — pennies earned through chores or sold handicrafts — and received these printed receipts as part of a savings education program administered through parish schools. The FF. S.-C. designation identifies the Frères des Écoles Chrétiennes (Brothers of the Christian Schools), the De La Salle order that ran many francophone Catholic schools in Montreal during this period.
The $100 face value was purely aspirational — a pedagogical ceiling, not a redeemable sum. No child held that balance.
