Banknotes that are no longer in issue in Canada, and are being actively removed from circulation, are said to be withdrawn from circulation. Notes that have been withdrawn from circulation include: * notes issued by colonial governments, prior to each province or dominion entering confederation. * notes issued by the Dominion of Canada between 1870 and 1935, which were issued in denominations of 25¢, $1, $2, $4, $5, $50, $100, $500, and $1,000 * notes issued by chartered banks (pre-Confederation to 1944) * older series issued by the Bank of Canada (1935–present), including some denominations that have been retired permanently ($1, $2, $25, $500, and $1,000). Only five different banknotes are currently issued ($5, $10, $20, $50 and $100). Smaller denominations have been replaced by coins, and larger ones are felt to be no longer required in an era of electronic transmission of most large transactions. Although currency withdrawn from circulation remains legal tender, it is disposed of by the Bank of Canada when returned to them. Withdrawn currency is usually exchanged at commercial bank branches, though some banks require that exchangers be bank customers, and then the bank presents the withdrawn currency to the Bank of Canada together with worn-out currency in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2010, the total value of provincial, Dominion, chartered bank, and discontinued Bank of Canada denominations still outstanding is more than $1.4 billion, with more than $1 billion of that amount in $1,000 notes.〔(Bank of Canada note liabilities ) ''Statistics Canada''〕 A liability for this amount remains on the Bank of Canada's books up to the present day. Despite competition from some more valuable foreign notes (most notably, the 500 Euro banknote) and the clear gains in efficiency that would result, there are no plans to re-issue Canadian banknotes above $100. The widespread use of electronic means to conduct large scale cash transactions today has made large-scale physical cash transactions scarce and therefore, at least from the government's point of view, unnecessary for the conduct of legitimate business. Below is a list of denominations that have been permanently retired from circulation. ==$4== In 1882, the Dominion of Canada began issuing $4 notes. The last was issued in 1902, and withdrawal began in 1912 when they were replaced with $5 notes. The note in 1900 was to depict a ship going through the Canadian Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, but after printing it was revealed that the American Locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan were the locks depicted on the note. All notes bearing the American locks were to be returned and subsequently destroyed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Withdrawn Canadian banknotes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
