Regular attendees of the Chicago Paper Money Expo are likely familiar with the souvenir cards produced each year by the Midwest Chapter of the International Bank Note Society. They actually include a bank note in a clear plastic holder affixed to the card.

This year's card, thirteenth in the series, features a 20-rupee bank note from the Reserve Bank of India (Standard Catalog of World Paper Money No. P-89A) depicting Mohandas Gandhi, better known as Mahatma Gandhi. The year 2008 is 60 years since his death in 1948.

A total of 100 cards were produced, all numbered.

Cards are available through the mail for U.S. $8, shipping included. Some previous years' cards remain available at the same price.
