Amazing that the old bill was designed back in 1986.

That's an interesting website to poke around on. They used to have a $25 bill? I did not know that.

[Sidney Crosby's Hat]

Never mind the $20, I'd like to get my hands on this!

[calgaryred]

sweet looking $20 dollar bill. I like it!

[Fire]

Nice bill except for the shrivelled old face of a Queen that belongs to another country. Why not put past Prime Minister's on the Canadian bills?

[browna]

Man the Queen's getting old...but at least she ditched the green hair!

ANd I'll take the grace and diginity of the Queen rather then the shrivled, cigar smoking MacKenzie King or Diefenbaker....or, come next issue, it would be Trudeau/Mulroney time.

The landmark PM's are there already IMO.

How about princess diana instead of the queen? I don't think Brian Mulroney's face should be on anything, except toilet paper. and add his crappy son, Ben too.

Interesting. So if we did drop the Queen and put on a PM who would you choose?

curious who you guys would choose

[Patek23]

I say screw the PMs, lets get Sutter on one of those bills!


In all seriousness, I think it shouldn't be PM's but people who are important in Canadian History (other than PM's).

Joe Clark...signifying his *20* minutes in office as PM.

That new 20 looks great. The updated picture of the queen is nice too.

now you're talking!

I'm another who isn't too fond of having the queen on our money. Screw the commonwealth, put something Canadian on there. Terry Fox is an awesome idea! How about the guy who discovered insulin, Dr Banting? David Thompson the explorer? John Cabot? Alot better choices out there.

[Hockey_Rules_22]

Our money looks like monopoly money. It's suppose to be harder to make them, but, I think it's easier . We have 2 dollar bills, but they're very, very, very, very etc. rare.

I could not agree more.

Its time to get all this British crap out of here. Canada is always talking about being a sovergn nation, lets start with the Queen.

Fox is a great choice for it. Here is my suggestion: Alexander Graham Bell.
