Record 2 1997-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Coins and Bank Notes
  • Numismatics
  • Coining
OBS

Most parts of Canadian bank notes are printed by two processes : intaglio printing and lithography. Intaglio printing is a process which involves portions of the design being hand-engraved or etched in steel. It produces an embossed effect which can be felt on all but worn bank notes. Lithographic printing provides the smooth, multicoloured portion of the design.

  • Numismatique

OBS

L'impression des billets de banque canadiens fait appel principalement à deux techniques, la gravure en taille douce et la lithographie. La gravure en taille-douce consiste à graver sur plaque d'acier des portions du dessin à la main ou à l'eau-forte. Elle produit une surface gaufrée dont l'effet peut être senti sur tous les billets qui ne sont pas trop usés. L'impression lithographique donne la portion multicolore et lisse du dessin.
