Reminds me of back in 1989 when I started issuing allowance scrip for my
younger brother and sister. My sister coloured up all the notes because as
she said "they are dull like dollars" From then on I amended my bad ways
and made the notes colourful:

Image is not the best it is shrunken a bit.

Thanks Doris, my kiddos like them. I made a commemorative set for my
Grandmother's birthday last summer, it was a hit. My daughter may have
tried to pay for something at school once, I heard about them from the
principal. That is the nice thing, they save their money and can't spend it
unless they convince someone to take them. The whole project, keeping track
of the notes printed, how many in circulation, and statistics on note issues
got me an A in one of my Excel classes last semester.

notes?

Padraic.

Padraic.

The $1 and $2 are uniface, because when they cash them in every six months
or so I stamp the back with the date it was paid. The $5 has a Buffalo on
the reverse. I have been making them for about 4 years now in the current
design, with some updates, notably the seven pointed star backgrounds and
more recently the $5 had quite a few updates. Most of the notes that are
out, there are currently 228 notes in circulation, are dated 2001. In the
past couple of years I have only printed them to commemorate birthdays etc
so I keep circulation pretty small, besides printing both sides of the $5 is
pretty expensive. So far I have not had to retire any from circulation, but
there is some attrition due to them being given as gifts or kept as
souvenirs by family members etc.

You're welcome Dave.
They make me think of stamps, the old stamps. Always beautiful.
I can hear the teacher now....your father MAKES his own money!? lol
When my kids had money burning a hole in their pockets, I would take
them shopping and we would spend hours. They wanted everything, but soon
found they didn't have enough. My daughter one day asked if I could buy
an item. I said no, you have enough money. She informed me she didn't
want to WASTE hers. :-)
Congrats on your A. You worked hard for it. And it shows.

They're professionally printed!?!? By a banknote company?

Also, out of curiosity, where have your kids tried to spend these?
What kind of difficulties have they had?
