Newfoundland Government Cash Notes
These are really interesting and historical Canadian banknotes. Newfoundland Government Cash Notes were issued from 1901 to 1914. They are kind of like a check or money order. The government used these to pay construction and maintenance crews working in Newfoundland. The notes were supposed to trade like cash. They could be redeemed at local banks. Once redeemed they were destroyed. Any denomination higher than $1 is very rare.
