That is the ugliest thing the BoC has ever made! The Haida $20 was
questionable (since when does the art of 0.004% of Canadians represent
or reflect "Canadian" art?) but this is hideous. What is that on the
back? From chair to shining chair? A picture of Bea Arthur on a
medallion? At least the new $5 and $10 aren't eyesores. Sheesh!

IMO.

After clicking through 10 or so links, I finally found an image. It looks
like a grocery store coupon to me. I think I will just stick to collecting
Canadian Tire Coupons, they look better.

rats, no polymer

I was hoping that the BoC would take the plunge, but alas, we continue to
wait, counterfeits continue to be made, and tax dollars are spent printing
notes that don't last

You guys have a paper company with a *STRONG* lobbyist effect, too, eh?

Canadian Bank Note Co. has printed polymer notes for northern Ireland and I
believe Zambia, but the Bank of Canada has decided to not go with polymer. I
have heard that it is due to the difficulty in handling and sorting the
notes after they've been circulated for a while, they become very slippery.
It's hard to keep a "wad" of mexican 20 peso notes together, they pop out
and slide real easy. I believe Thailand is reconsidering their polymer 50
baht note for this reason as well. I do like the look of the polymer notes,
esp the Northern Ireland £5. In time it will happen.

The paper lobby is non-existant here, the paper for the current notes
(Journey Series) is made in Germany. The company that used to make the paper
wasn't able to make the new banknote paper with the embedded colour shifting
security strip, or the Holographic strip. The company that used to produce
all the paper has scaled back significantly since.
