General Inquiries:
We are happy to answer your questions, and we will
do so in the shortest time possible. Please consider
that we cannot meet last-minute deadlines. Many questions
can be answered by browsing our site or by checking
our FAQ section. Please
keep in mind that we specialize in Canadian currency.
To help us answer your questions, please be as specific
as possible.
Owing to concerns over possible conflict of interest,
the Currency Museum of the Bank of Canada does not
offer appraisals of private pieces and will therefore
not follow up on such requests. However, you can consult
the following publications:

The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Government
Paper Money. Toronto: The Charlton Press (new
edition each year).
The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Bank
Notes. Toronto: The Charlton Press (verify for
updated editions).

for the value of your coins, bank notes, or tokens,
and they are available in most public libraries or
can be ordered through any book store.
