| Comments |
Canadian Tire "money" was never legal tender and never intended to be, yet it functioned as a remarkably effective loyalty currency for decades — accepted in-store at face value on future purchases, and, peculiarly, also accepted as change by some third-party businesses across Canada. The Canadian Bank Note Company printed these to the same technical standards used for government-issue currency, which is partly why they circulated so freely outside their intended retail context.
By the mid-1980s, counterfeit versions had become enough of a problem that the company periodically redesigned the series. This 1985 issue falls within a period of deliberate security feature updates.
