Birds of Canada series $10

The $10 bill wasn't purple, it was brown...wasn't it?Ouuplas 07:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Nope. See: http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/general/character/1986_10.html. --thirty-seven 07:27, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

You must be much more accustomed to dealing with $100 bills than I am. :-) --Doradus 13:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Heh, weird, it always looked brown to me. Ouuplas 20:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Current banknote image

This image is out of date, as it includes the "old" version of the $10 bill before the new security features were added. However, given that the $5 bill will gain the same security features in November, it may make sense to leave the image until then and update both bills at once. Daveharr 12:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

If you scroll down, then you will find images of the new $10 bill with not-so-high resolution. --Chochopk 13:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I realize that, but the merged image is out of date and should be updated at some point. Daveharr 18:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Before the image is updated, we can update the caption. --Chochopk 20:09, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Good point. I've changed the caption to read "Sample Canadian Banknotes" rather than "Current". Daveharr 17:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Deleted images

For some reason all individual images of the obverses and reverses of the 2001 series Canadian bills have been deleted (except for the $5 bill). Does anyone know why this has happened, or how to get them back? --thirty-seven 21:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Status of $1000 notes

A claim is made in the article that the $1000 bill is still used by casinos and banks. Can anyone find a reference for this? AFAIK banks are obligated to pull all $1000 bills they receive and have them sent to the Bank of Canada for shredding.Vanillagorillas 20:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

According to this press release, banks are only *requested* to return them. I don't think that there is a legal requirement for them to do so. http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/press/2000/pr00-8.html Király-Seth 17:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Changes

I see that this article has been slimmed down, and separate pages created for the older series. This is good. But the descriptions under the "List of bank note series" section of this page have been lifted word for word from the Bank of Canada's website. This is not good. This section should be paraphrased. Also, multiple references to "obverse and reverse" are made here and in the newly created linked articles. These two terms refer to coins only. The correct Canadian terms for the two sides of a bank note are "face" and "back" (see page ix of the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Government Paper Money [ISSN 1716-0731].) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.94.174 (talk) 17:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Names of the banknote series articles

These articles were recently created.

I'm not sure if they have the best name. Except the last one, we can't tell if the series is of the Canadian dollar. It could well be some other currency that happens to have a series in 1935. And is "series" a proper noun to be capitalized in this case? If you ask me, I think the currency taxonomy goes like this.

Regnum - currency type (Canadian dollar)
Phylum - currency system (Doesn't apply to Canada, as it has never redenominates its currency unit?)
Class - coins/notes of a currency system (e.g. notes of the Romanian leu (1952))
Order - state notes/banknotes/various issuing banks of a currency system (Doesn't apply to CAD)
Family - series

So these articles are sub classes of Banknotes of the Canadian dollar. There are existing banknote series articles like Fifth series of the renminbi. So what about

1935 series of the Canadian dollar
1935 banknote series of the Canadian dollar
1935 series of Canadian banknotes

Images

As User:Betacommandbot has damaged this article with its copyright paranoia, someone could do with re-uploading the images that have been deleted. Please note that images should be uploaded to the English Wikipedia, not to the Wikimedia Commons, as Canadian banknotes are copyrighted and used with permission.

As there are far too many copyright-paranoid bots running against the English Wikipedia, please ensure a fair-use rationale is added to each image, using {{Non-free media rationale}} — see Image:CAD50 Front.png for examples.

Expansion to include pre-Bank of Canada notes

This article is supposed to cover bank notes of the Canadian dollar, but it only includes detailed information of Bank of Canada issues. The Canadian Dollar has been in existence since 1858, 77 years before the Bank of Canada issued its first notes. Pre-1935 Province of Canada and Dominion of Canada notes should really be included here. Issuance of Canadian dollar notes by chartered banks should be included in this article as well. If it is decided to keep the scope of this article limited to Bank of Canada notes, then this article should be renamed Banknotes of the Bank of Canada. Király-Seth 18:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC), edited Király-Seth 10:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Added history section. Most of it was moved from the Canadian dollar article. Király-Seth (talk) 19:39, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Banting and Best on the $100 for insulin

Who's the nice lady on the back of the new $100? The bottle clearly says insulin and Neither of whom look like her, [I've got photos of Banting and Best on the other screen. ] Who is she?

I don't mean to ring the historical revisionism alarm bell, but was this an attempt to encourage girls to get into science and away from history departments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.173.83 (talk) 01:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

The Mint says the drawing is to commemorate Banting's discovery of Insulin, the creation of the pacemaker by John Hops and mapping the human genome. Given that she's clearly neither of the first two, and genome mapping doesn't use 1970s optical microscopes, what is the mystery identity of the researcher? -- VH — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.181.98 (talk) 21:56, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Dominion of Canada Large Denomination Notes

I've found information about large denomination banknotes that were used only internally within the banking system. They were called Bank Legals and came in denominations of $500, $1000, $5000, and $50000 (http://www.cdnpapermoney.com/English/DoC/bank_legals.htm). Maybe these could be mentioned in the article somewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.121.105.94 (talk) 17:16, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
