Banque Scolaire notes were issued to Quebec schoolchildren as part of a savings education program — students deposited small coins and received these paper receipts as a pedagogical stand-in for real currency. The 5 Dollars denomination was optimistic arithmetic for most participants. Printed in Montréal, these circulated only within school walls and were never legal tender in any sense, which is precisely why so few survived: they were disposable teaching tools, not documents anyone thought to preserve.
