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!

The sad and disgusting thing is our politicians in the west are still implenting legislation along racial lines in 150years, we have learnt nothing.

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.

Never before have I been "wow"ing so much when looking at banknotes.

I've been to the Parliament Building's library once before, and holy hell it is BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely stunning, everywhere you look. Including the ceiling. Fun fact that I learned there: the only part of the Parliament building that survived in the 1916 fire was the library, and it is the only original Parliament building room. Why? Because it has MASSIVE iron doors that weigh a lot that is the entrance. These doors blocked the fire.

Don't forget about our GLOW IN THE DARK $2 coin!

Thank you!

If Malaysia can use this concept of vertical banknotes from the Swiss and Canadians, it would make our Ringgit banknotes cooler than ever before. And Japan should follow these concepts too.

I clicked on this because I was given this vertical bill today, it's really beautiful and I thought it was funny that this is in my recommended!

Like the Swiss Francs!

I think it's a psychological trick... people don't think anything about it until someone suggests it is and then their brain tries to convince them. I've smelled maple syrup and this is not the same as bills.

@zacharyallen4825

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.

I love the Swiss notes you briefly featured, the autumnal jewel colours and the artistic expressive hands, definitely going to go and check those out.

So brilliantly done. So good to see all those bank notes clearly presented for viewing; one can stop the video at any time and study any view you have presented. I had no knowledge whatsoever of Viola. Very wonderful video, as are all of your videos! Thank you !

I am a Canadian who doesn't like the new bill. Vertical bills are less practical (because wallets are horizontal). And I also don't think it's a good idea to remove the first prime minister from a bill. (Viola Desmond was a good choice, not trying to diminish the fact they found a suitable replacement to put on a bill)

Yeah, but in a cash register they're verticle. Since people who spend all day handling money handle the notes vertically it makes sense. And yeah, John A Macdonald is the only famous historic Canadian I know, as a British person who lived there for 3 years (as a child). Also what's the deal with the brown 100 dollar note lol. I lived in Australia, theirs is green. The Australians have a yellow 50 dollar note, yellow looks way better than brown.

Great way of showing the country's treasures and contributions to the world.

The coolest note is the 5 dollar bill. Just love the Canadarm being on it, and proud of what the nation has accomplished. Also it’s blue which is my fav. Being a proud Canadian living in Japan, I always have a 5 in my wallet to show friends over here how cool it is.
