Two kinds of coin board exist. The first kind known as a merchandise board, is a variation on pull-tab games. A game board of this type comes with a registered package of pull-tab tickets, a signers card, a pay-out slip; when a ticket is sold, the player opens the ticket to reveal its hidden numbers. If a number on the ticket matches a number on the game board, the player wins a prize and/or a chance at one or more seal prizes, which are revealed at the end of the game; the game board displays the winning numbers along with the prizes. Some of the winners receive instant cash only, while some of the winning numbers match numbers on coins, wallets, or small panels that are built into the board; when a player opens a ticket containing one of these numbers, the game manager removes the coin or panel and gives it to the player. When the coin or panel is removed, a prize is revealed that may consist of instant cash, and/or a chance at a seal prize. Instant cash or merchandise winnings are given to the player by the manager.

If a player wins a chance at a seal prize, that player's name is added to the signers card. When the game ends—all the tickets sell out, or all the prizes are won—the manager opens the seals on the game board to reveal the winning numbers; the players whose names appear next to the winning numbers on the signers card win a seal prize. The seal prizes are the most valuable prizes. United States collector coins are embedded in most coin boards sold in the US. Sometimes they are visible, sometimes they are hidden behind panels. Coin boards contain only cash prizes. Merchandise boards contain coins, but some or all of the prizes consist of merchandise rather than cash; the pay-out slip, provided with each board lists the number of winners and values of all prizes. This information may be used for accounting purposes and to verify that the game complies with local gaming regulations; the second kind of coin board known as a coin collecting board, is intended for coin collectors to assemble a complete set of dates and mints for a particular coin series.

It consists of a strip of cardboard measuring 11 inches wide by 14 inches tall, with holes punched into it the size of the particular coins. A face paper having the same hole pattern carries graphics; this consists of dates and mintmarks printed beneath each opening, sometimes with the addition of the number of pieces coined for that issue. A bold title for the coin series will appear at the top of the board, the bottom of the face will have publication and copyright information. On some coin boards the bottom of the face will provide some historical and technical information about the coin series, as well as misguided instructions for cleaning coins. On the most common coin boards, those published by Whitman, this information was moved to the back of the board, this is more typical for other publishers, too; the coin collecting board was invented in 1934 by Joseph Kent Post, an engineer with Kimberly-Clark in Neenah, Wisconsin. His knowledge of paper products and their manufacture, combined with his interest in coin collecting, prompted him to devise this inexpensive means to collect coins.

Debuting early in 1935, his first coin boards—one for Indian Head nickels and another for Lincoln cents—were priced at 25 cents retail, these proved successful. Sold at newsstands, stationery stores, variety stores, similar retail outlets, coin boards were the point of entry for thousands of new coin collectors between 1935 and 1942, after which most publishers discontinued them in favor of the more convenient coin folders still used today. Post marketed his coin boards under the Kent Co. Coin Card brand. In 1935, Post sold his invention to Whitman Publishing of Racine, a leading producer of puzzles and other paper novelties. Whitman became the most prolific of coin board producers and had the most extensive list of coin series titles. Other publishers of coin boards included Colonial Coin & Stamp Company and Gramercy Stamp Company, both located in New York City, J. Oberwise & Company and Lincoln Printing Company, both located in Los Angeles and Earl & Koehler of Portland, Oregon. Whitman and Oberwise boards are seen with some frequency, but the other companies' boards are scarce, those of Gramercy and E & K being genuinely rare.

Coin collecting boards have been retired from their original usage for the most part, all are now considered quite collectable. Their collector value varies with their relative rarity and condition

Kenora named Rat Portage, is a small city situated on the Lake of the Woods in Northwestern Ontario, close to the Manitoba boundary, about 200 km east of Winnipeg. It is the seat of Kenora District; the town of Rat Portage was amalgamated with the towns of Keewatin and Norman in 1905 to form the present-day City of Kenora. In 2001, the towns of Kenora and Keewatin as well as the unincorporated communities of Norman and Jaffray Melick amalgamated under the Municipal Act, 2001. Kenora is the administrative headquarters of the Anishinabe of Wauzhushk Onigum, Obashkaandagaang Bay, Washagamis Bay First Nations band governments; the name "Kenora" was coined by combining the first two letters of Keewatin and Rat Portage. Kenora's future site was in the territory of the Ojibway when the first European, Jacques de Noyon, sighted Lake of the Woods in 1688. Pierre de La Vérendrye established a secure French trading post, Fort Saint Charles, to the south of present-day Kenora near the current Canada/U. S.

Border in 1732, France maintained the post until 1763 when it lost the territory to the British in the Seven Years' Warl until it was the most northwesterly settlement of New France. In 1836 the Hudson's Bay Company established a post on Old Fort Island, in 1861, the Company opened a post on the mainland at Kenora's current location. In 1878, the company surveyed lots for the permanent settlement of Rat Portage — the community kept that name until 1905, when it was renamed Kenora. Kenora was once claimed as part of the Province of Manitoba, there are early references to Rat Portage, Manitoba. There was a long lasting argument between the two provinces known as the Ontario-Manitoba boundary dispute; each province claimed the town as part of their territory and the dispute lasted from 1870 to 1884. Although Ottawa had ruled the town part of Manitoba in 1881, the issue was taken up with the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council which decided in Ontario's favour. Kenora became part of the province of Ontario in 1889.

Boundaries were drawn up for the provinces and the Northwest Angle on Lake of the Woods which definitively drew the borders between Ontario, Manitoba and Minnesota, U. S. Gold and the railway were both important in the community's early history: gold was first discovered in the area in 1850, by 1893, 20 mines were operating within 24 km of Rat Portage, the first Canadian ocean-to-ocean train passed through in 1886 on the Canadian Pacific Railway. Among the entrepreneurs attracted to the town was the Hon. JEP Vereker, a retired British army officer and youngest son of the 4th Viscount Gort. A highway was built through Kenora in 1932, becoming part of Canada's first coast-to-coast highway in 1943, part of the Trans-Canada Highway, placing the community on both of Canada's major transcontinental transportation routes; the original barrier to the completion of the highway concerned the crossing of the Winnipeg River at two locations. The single span arch. During the Prohibition era in the United States, the Lake of the Woods served as a smuggler's route for the transport of alcohol.

In December 1883, there was a large fire in Rat Portage, rendering 70 of the town's population of 700 homeless. The Stanley Cup was won by the Kenora Thistles hockey team in 1907; the team featured such Hall of Famers as Billy McGimsie, Tommy Phillips, Art Ross, for whom the Art Ross Trophy is named. Kenora is the smallest town. Rat Portage is mentioned in Algernon Blackwood's famous 1910 story, "The Wendigo". In 1967, the year of the Canadian Centennial, Kenora erected a sculpture known as Husky the Muskie, it has become one of its most recognizable features. A dramatic bank robbery took place in Kenora on May 10, 1973. An unknown man entered the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce armed and wearing a "dead man's switch", a device utilising a clothespin, wires and dynamite, where the user holds the clothespin in the mouth, exerting force on the clothespin. Should the user release the clothespin, two wires attached to both sides of the pin complete an electrical circuit, sending current from the battery, detonating the explosives.

After robbing the bank, the robber exited the CIBC, was preparing to enter a city vehicle driven by undercover police officer Don Milliard. A sniper, Robert Letain, positioned across the street, shot the robber, causing the explosives to detonate and kill the robber. Most of the windows on the shops on the main street were shattered as a result of the blast. Kenora Police submitted DNA samples from the robber's remains to a national database to identify him; the importance of the logging industry declined in the second part of the 20th century, the last log boom was towed into Kenora in 1985. The tourist and recreation industries have become more important. In addition to the separate towns of Keewatin and Jaffray Melick, the city includes the neighbourhoods of Norman, Rabbit Lake, Pinecrest and Lakeside. Keewatin forms the westernmost section of the City of Kenora. Norman was a small community located halfway between the village of Rat Portage; the Village of Keewatin was founded in 1877 while the Village of Norman was founded in 1892.

Keewatin separated and was founded as a Township in 1908. The Jaffray Melick neighbourhood delineates the north-easternmost section of the City of Kenora; the Township of Jaffray
