All of the historical elements in the note’s design show why this year calls for a big celebration! This bank note not only reflects the pride we feel about our country and its accomplishments, it also, we hope, instills in Canadians a different kind of confidence. The Bank is responsible for the design, production and distribution of Canada’s bank notes.
And while bank notes reflect Canada’s society, culture and history, it’s also our job to ensure that they are durable and difficult to counterfeit—in short, so that Canadians can have confidence in their money. From a design perspective, when we asked Canadians what they wanted to see, more than anything else, they said Canada’s landscapes.
