Besides printing postage stamps for Canada and the United Nations, do you know of any other countries that Canadian Bank Note Company (CBNC) has printed postage stamps for?
Interesting question. I bet they have. There's a bit of hint on their website. It might be fun to email them and ask; maybe they have a corporate historian -- or some old guy (like me) in a musty corner of the basement
Quote: CBN was established in 1897 to supply security-printed products to the Canadian government, which it has done continuously ever since. The supply of Canadian currency, passports and postage stamps are three important activities entrusted to the Company. CBN has expanded from this base to the supply of the same and similar products to many other countries and today more than half of CBN's sales originate outside of Canada. In the 1980's CBN expanded into the Lottery Systems business area and today is active in supplying and managing lottery games in many countries with a special focus on the Caribbean as well as Latin, Central and South America.
Canadian Bank Note Company printed two US stamps (Scott 2184 and 2186), actually as a sub contractor for Stamp Ventures.
See here from the 2008 Scott Specialized.
I remember there was a big outcry as to why the USPS was using a foreign printer. Similar to Ashton Potter who originally was a Canadian security printer but was finally given a USPS contract after a name change to Ashton Potter (USA) and relocating the plant to upstate New York.
