The monument is a pretty poor choice as an image, it may be inspiring in person – but the photo doesn’t do it justice as an animal or landscape would IMHO
I wonder wether this uber-hard-to-conterfeit bill will actually result in more fraud initially, because you can give people any vaguely similar bill if they don’t know it yet.

I’d say it’s a good argument for e-currency.

Better pics of it are on BoC’s flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bankofcanada/

Looks like a Pokemon card. But then our money has been ugly for a long time. I prefer greenbacks as far as the esthetic goes.

I wonder whether the Canadian mint has designs with Charles on them ready in case. Or if they’d admit it if they did.

The image of the Vimy Ridge War Memorial looks like a World Trade Center-inspired tombstone design. Which is appropriate for a Bankster aesthetic.
