    How about we just stop having foreigners on our money?

    Just make sure they work in machines unlike the vertical 10…

      You’d be wise to keep some around for that rainy day.

    They made a pretty good choice with Viola Desmond for the 10.

    King Charles is the traditional pick, but considering how well the $10 note was received, you’d think they’d pick someone better than the current king of England

      I misread traditional pick as traditional prick

      The Bank of Canada has had at least one monarch on the bill face since its formation.

    I’m disappointed they didn’t use his tampon likeness.

    I picked up a couple silver coins with his face on them. Low key hope he doesn’t live long so they might be worth more.

    By “vertical” I suppose they mean that the portrait is sideways.

      The bills are in portrait format, not landscape, yes.

    Very cool! Good job Canadian Bank Note! (The actual designer and printer of the notes)

      Canadian* Bank Note does get feedback from Bank of Canada on designs so I’d say it was a group effort. It’s strange that Bank of Canada likes taking all of the credit though.

      I’m actually curious who specifically was the lead designer for this one, since Jorge Peral (who has designed all bank notes in recent history) retired before this note was released. I presume he had his hand in it, but how big was his role?
