million dollars this month by the chartered banks to the bank of canada marks its end it is a custom which has been part and parcel of canadians daily living ever since that early day when canada had no money of her own and trade was carried on mainly by barter the custom in question is the circulation of banknotes by the chartered banks the first of which were issued by the bank of montreal when it began business in november 1817 the bills and coins which the b of m put into circulation at that time constituted canadas first real money issue of those banknotes was the first step taken to clear up the chaos in which the hapless cana dian trader of the early nineteenth century operated he had one alternative to trading by barter it was to fight a losing battle with a hodgepodge of foreign currencies whose everchanging values plagued his days the b of m bills gave him confid ence in his dealings he had never known before later as other banks were formed they too issued currency which became what was known as legal tender legislation ends custom and now the old custom is end ed during this first month of 1950 all outstanding banknotes issued in canada by the chartered banks become an obligation of the bank of canada to provide for redemp tion of the notes a sum of about 14000000 is being paid over to the central bank by the chartered banks whose notes were in every day use until just a few years ago and even still bob up from time to time at their height in 1920 when no less than a quarter of a billion dollars worth of chartered bank notes were in circulation these bills served as the most important instruments of circulation in can adian business for well over a cen tury with the formation of the bank of canada in 1935 govern ment legislation was passed with the object of making this central banking organization the main issuer of the nations currency as bank of canada notes came into circulation the noteissues of the chartered banks were gradually reduced many notes still circulate by the end of 1944 all but about 25 per cent of the chartered banks notes had been withdrawn and legislation in that year was enact ed which envisaged the end of these notes altogether under this legislation the banks could not issue or reissue their notes in canada this meant in effect that the outstanding notes would be steadily reduced by redemption until january 1 1950 many of these notes however were still outstanding at the end of 1949 as of january 1 1950 though still covered by funds of the issu ing banks paid over to central bank they become redeemable by the bank of canada which today issues all canadian currency for the convenience of the public how ever outstanding banknotes can still be presented at any chartered bank branch which
