SACRED MONEY, DAMNED MONEY ON DISPLAY IN OTTOWA, CANADA

The following item is from the April 6, 2007 C.N.A. E-Bulletin (v3n22) 
of the Canadian Numismatic Association:

"From March 29 to October 14, the Currency Museum of the Bank of Canada, 
Ottawa, will present provocative objects from the Museum of Civilization's 
exciting exhibit "Sacred Money, Damned Money."

"The Currency Museum, located at 245 Sparks Street, Ottawa, ON, is open 
Tuesday to Saturday 10:30 am to 5 pm, Sunday, 1 pm to 5 pm and Mondays 
10:30 am to 5 pm. There is no admission charge.

"This remarkable exhibit will offer a new perspective on the coins and 
notes in your wallet, while providing a greater understanding of the 
Bank of Canada's role as the country's only note-issuing authority. 
Explore the sacred nature of money. Discover the value of money as a 
symbol of authority and power. Learn about the sacrilegious nature 
of counterfeiting and the artistic manipulation of money - as acts 
that deliberately defy money's authority and power.

For information on the Currency Museum, go to www.currencymuseum.ca."
