Canadian numismatic clubs began issuing their own scrip notes decades ago, primarily as convention souvenirs and auction currency redeemable only within the event. The Waterloo Coin Society, based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, has maintained this tradition as a way of facilitating bourse-floor trading without exchanging legal tender — a practice with no regulatory burden under Canadian law, since such notes carry no pretense of general circulation.
Andri Kurniawan's involvement suggests the design was commissioned through the growing network of freelance banknote artists who work specifically in the collector scrip space. Worth noting for completeness, not prestige.
