Moccasin Musings
When purchasing mukluks from now on, the cash payment will be in polymer bills rather than the old linen form. In order to save money and to keep money in circulation longer, the Royal Canadian Mint has introduced a new $20 bill made from high-tech polymer. The new $20 bill is green and has an updated picture of Queen Elizabeth II on the front. The back of the bill pays tribute to Canada’s veterans and displays the Canadian National Vimy Memorial located in France.

The $20 bills have already turned some heads. Focus groups commissioned by the Bank of Canada to gauge public opinion on the design found some people mistook the Vimy Memorial for New York’s Twin Towers, while some commented that images of the memorial’s sculptures were “too pornographic.” As well, poppies are displayed on the back.
The polymer notes have more security features and are harder to counterfeit than the current paper bills, while the new $20 bills are expected to last 2.5-times longer than today’s banknotes.
