Secrets of the Canadian Dollar

Canada's New Vertical Banknote is probably the coolest banknote in the world. Launching the new series, it was released at the end of 2018 - the remaining denominations will be released over the upcoming years. A cool addition for banknote collectors!

    Thanks for all the super insightful comments informing me that the Queen is in fact a woman. If you'd listened, I say "one of the first" - if you disregard Royalty (as is the custom with banknotes, they're generally on there by default), then Agnes MacPhail was the first (on the 150th anniversary $10), and Viola Desmond second.

    The Queen won't be on our notes forever. The $20 bill has whoever the living monarch is, meaning the Queen will eventually be replaced by King Charles, who will eventually be replaced by King William (or whatever royal names they'll take). Those of us who can use our brains understood why you skipped her over and said "one of the first".

    Hello a fellow Canadian here. Thank you very much for making this video! Im a cashier so I handle these bills constantly and I can say without a doubt that a fresh bill does smell like maple syrup. In fact when you have a cash register full of new bills it can be really over powering. But the older the bill the more it wears off. If your bill doesn’t smell like maple syrup it’s an old bill. Our bills also have Braille in the corners for blind citizens ;) Great video!

    As cool as it would be to have Commander Chris Hadfield on our 5 dollar bank note, that's not actually him on the bill. The depiction of the astronaut represents "all Canadians who have contributed to the space program and the scientific research conducted on board the International Space Station", and thus omits all mission and rank identification other than the Canadian flag patch.

That said being politcally active in the 1870s I would hazard a guess that he harboured many of the contemporary views of the day and implented various policies along racial lines. To the detriment of those affected. This i would gues is the narrative they are using to strike him from the history books. The sad and disgusting thing is our politicians in the west are still implenting legislation along racial lines in 150years, we have learnt nothing. Uniting a nation like canada was no small feat and although the man did not do it alone MacDonald played a very important part in shaping the character of the Canadian nation.

Because it has MASSIVE iron doors that weigh a lot that is the entrance. These doors blocked the fire.

    char m The reason why it smells like maple syrup (to some people) is because the ink, Polymer and weathering resistant coating on the banknote, when mixed together and used on the same object it gives off a smell (maple syrup). And when the banknote gets older and is used more, the smell goes away because it has been used and the resistant coating has worn off. The smell isn’t on purpose as it is only because of those reasons.

    In Canada, way back in 1935, then 8-year-old Princess Elizabeth (who later became Queen Elizabeth II), was first seen on the $20 note (Canada beat everyone). A new design of notes were made 1953 when she finally became queen (as many countries did who had her as their monarch) . It was also the first and last time where she would be featured on every single Canadian banknote (ie, the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000). In 1969 (the next redesign), she was only on the 1, 2 and 20. By 1986 she was on two notes, the 2 and 20, because the $1 note was discontinued in favour of a dollar coin. By 2001 she was only in the $20, because in 1996 Canada switched to a $2 coin. By 2011 she was on two notes, but they were both 20's.(a regular and a commemorative note). That was the last redesign the BOC (Bank of Canada) did. The next redesign/series of notes are not yet know. Considering that Canada has been using polymer notes since 2011, and the BOC has mentioned that the expected lifespan of their notes is around 16 years, that commemorative $20 was released in 2015... so it might be the 2030's before before King Charles III shows up, but some say that's not guaranteed. Some say Canada no longer needs a royal on any banknote, but it's still undecided as to what will really happen. In the meantime, CIII is expected to be on Canadian coins by 2024, but beyond that, QEII might be the last royal to be seen on a Canadian banknote.
