Store Series S-4

The CTC S4 Series Store Coupon was introduced in 1973 and continued in circulation for 12 years until 1985. (Except for 1976 - the Olympic Year - Series S5)

Dean Muncaster left CTC in June 1985 after 18 years as president.

This series is the first to use discernable replacement coupons. The replacement coupons are identified by an asterisk preceding the serial number.

This series also has several blocks of coupons that use an orange colour in the serial number rather than the traditional red.

This series was also the final series to use the square denominations, which were replaced with round ones starting in the S5 and S6 series. (Except the special
run of extra 3 cent coupons done in 1991 and called the S12 series.)
