Tomorrow, Canada’s brand new plastic $20 bills will start circulating. The new bills honour the Canadian military and feature the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on the back. It’s no coincidence that they will be launched just before Remembrance Day on November 11! The polymer (plastic) bills are more secure than earlier bills and they are also easier for banks to verify as real. Today, the revamped twenties will have their official launch celebration at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. We can’t wait to hold and spend the new bills once they start circulating!

DID YOU KNOW?

  • The $20 bill is the Canada’s mostly widely used bank note.
  • The plastic $100 and $50 bills have already been released and the $10 and $5 bills are set to launch in 2013.
  • The former $20 paper bill was introduced in September 2004 as part of the Canadian Journey Series.
  • The front of the $20 bill features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of the commonwealth realms.
