Banque du Quebec $5 Political Satire Funny Money. The portrait is Jacques Parizeau, the leader of the Party Quebecois and Premier of Quebec at the time of the second Quebec Independence Referendum in 1995.
I have decided to sell off my extensive collection of funny money over the next few months. It started in the federal election of 1962 when a Liberal party supporter handed me a free Diefendollar even though I wasn’t old enough to vote. I was intrigued, and I have been searching for and accumulating political satire funny money in all their many crude to professional printings for the past 60 years. I consider them Canadian historical folk art where mostly ordinary Canadians expressed their two cents worth of mockery and anger at the powers that be. And lots of fun! But now I must downsize my possessions for fear that my heirs might one day dispose of “Grandad’s Mess” in the recycling blue box. It is far better that my funny money notes all go to people who appreciate them.
Please wait for my invoice if you buy more than one item. I will always provide a discount based on weight for combined shipping.
