Okay kiddo, do you know what money is? Money is what we use to buy things like toys and candy. The Canadian banknote series from 1935 is like a special kind of money that was used a long time ago in Canada.
These banknotes were made out of paper and had different pictures and designs on them. They were worth different amounts of money depending on the picture and the number on the banknote. For example, a banknote with a picture of a beaver and the number “5” on it was worth $5 at that time.
The 1935 Canadian banknote series had different pictures on them. Some had animals like beavers, horses, and cows, while others had pictures of famous people from Canada’s history like Sir John A. Macdonald, who helped create Canada, and William Lyon Mackenzie King, who was a Canadian Prime Minister.
These banknotes were used to help people buy things they needed or wanted. Imagine going to a store with these banknotes and handing them to the storekeeper in exchange for your favorite toy or candy. It was a way of trading things you have for things you want.
Although we don't use this specific banknote series anymore, the money we use today is still just as important and valuable. It helps us buy the things we need and want, just like the 1935 Canadian banknote series did for people a long time ago.
