25 Cent Bank Notes – Dominion of Canada

Twenty-five cent Canadian bank notes are commonly referred to as shinplasters. They are the lowest denomination and the only fractional currency issued by The Dominion of Canada. These are frequently dismissed as being common and of little collector value. While that is true of most examples, some varieties are quite rare and valuable. Notes from 1870 have the greatest chance of being rare. Some 25 cent fractionals from 1900 and 1923 will be worth good money if they are in perfect condition.
