Many persons helped to make this second
edition possible. I would like to thank Mike Bordo,
Pierre Duguay, Tiff Macklem, John Murray, and
Larry Schembri for their helpful comments and
suggestions. Special thanks go to Paul Berry, Chief
Curator of the National Currency Collection, for
his comments and assistance in choosing pieces to
supplement the story and for providing captions.
Additional thanks go to the museum staff, including
David Bergeron, Rebecca Renner, Lisa Craig, and
Gord Carter who worked with Paul to provide
the excellent illustrations. Jennifer Devine and
Debbie Brentnell from Library and Archives
Canada were also extremely helpful in locating
and processing some of the editorial cartoons used
in this book. Lisette Lacroix, Joan Teske, Judy Jones,
and Taha Jamal provided invaluable research and
technical assistance. The superb French translation
was done by Lyse Brousseau, Sylvie Langlois,
Shirley-Ann Dulmage, Denyse Simard-Ebert, and
Andréa Pelletier, supported by René Lalonde and
Sylvie Morin who proofread the French and
English texts.
Lastly, I would like to thank Publishing
Services for pulling the project together in an
incredibly short period of time. Jill Moxley and
Lea-Anne Solomonian, supported by Eddy Cavé
and Glen Keenleyside, edited the manuscript.
Michelle Beauchamp provided the very creative
layout, and Maura Brown the comprehensive index,
while Darlene Fougere kept us all on track.
