Tash, our money is pretty much a cornucopia of facts, history and symbolism. Fun fact: since 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced coinage for over 80 different countries.
Interesting fact I totally forgot about but our Loony ($1 coin) was buried in the ice at the 2002 Olympics for the Gold Metal Hockey Games which were held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Canada hadn't won gold in Men's Hockey since 1952 and our Women's team had lost the previous Olympic Gold to the USA in 1998. We won both Gold Medals that year in hockey. The guy who was preparing the ice did it and they found out about it because it could be seen under the ice and was told that he had to take it out, but he had a back up plan. The next time he was preparing the ice he buried it again but this time he painted over it so it couldn't be seen. The Canadian teams were the only ones privy to the fact we had a loonie buried at center ice and it helped out the morale of both teams. That loonie now resides in the Hockey Hall of Fame. The day our men's hockey team brought home the Gold in hockey was a day that Canadian's celebrated from coast to coast. What made it even cooler is that both our men's and women's team beat the US on their soil.
OMG Tash, I know you did a video on Dildo, Newfoundland a while back so I thought you'd get a kick out of this. I just read on CBC that a photographer from Dildo has gone viral with his photos of an iceberg off the coast of Harbour Grace, Nfld that is shaped exactly like a complete part of the male anatomy. It's been nicknamed the "dickie berg" and some of the comments are hilarious!
Ironically, we went to a Blue Jays game at the Roger’s Centre last night (sorry, but it will always be Skydome to me) and there isn’t a single venue or vender in the entire building that accepts cash, electronic transactions only.
The bills have "bumps" on them to assist the blind but they are NOT Braille. The 6 bumps on the $5 (arranged like on dice) would be the word "of" in Braille. Two sets of six on the $10, 3 for the 20, 4 on the 50 and 2 widely spaced for the 100.
It took Canada decades to catch up with anything even approaching the "cool" of Australian bank notes!---when I flew to Oz in 1982 and exchanged for some Australian currency at Vancouver Airport I was amazed at the images of the Murriyang (Parkes) Radio Telescope and DNA molecules---maybe on the $10 notes? Your money was also worth a lot more at the time (I took a beating).
Last week I went to a performance by a Canadian singer and actress, Krystal Dos Santos, portraying Viola Desmond. Fantastic performance and history I didn't know the story of. We love our paper money; and our Loonies and Toonies, AKA 1 dollar and two dollar coins.
I'm Canadian. The maple syrup smell was real. I grew up in Winnipeg, where this was first done in the Canadian mint in Winnipeg. 2012, it was only the $20 notes that had the maple syrup smell, which only lasted for about 3 months. On top of that, whatever they used to make it, made the $20 notes stick to each other, it was common by ATM, customer, and cashier, to get/give 2-3 $20's for every 1 you wanted. I remember having to fold the notes in half before giving them out, and telling customers to do the same. But nothing like going to pull out a $20, and get 2 or 3 instead 😂. And if I recall correctly (it's 2023 now, so it's been 11 years) it was only done in the Winnipeg and Halifax mints, and by the time the Edmonton mint was set to release their end, Halifax and Winnipeg already had these reports, so really no one west of...maybe Saskatchewan, never really had it. As I said, I could be 100% wrong, I was a cashier at a phpharmacy lol As for if Charles will replace his mother on our $20...no clue. Haven't heard or seen anything yet. Probably won't until after his coronation.
Charles will only be on coins here, no notes. Not to be disrespectful but I think they are only doing it out of duty lol. The republican debate is back if full swing here after the passing of Queen Elizabeth
One thing that they didn't mention was that on every bill, there are dots that help the blind know what denomination the bill is, like the 5, 10, 20, 50, 100.
an old $10.00 paper bilI showed pictures of Canada's military “remembrance and Peacekeeping" on the back a male veteran stands with a boy and a girl observing a cenotaph on Remembrance Day, the vet happened to be a patient at my friends dental office. I was in Colorado working on a contract back in 2009-2010 I showed some of our 'funny money' to the Americans they were amazed that we had common people on our bank notes. Australia had the plastic money before Canada.
Here's a bit of trivia that applies to Canada and Australia: By tradition, the direction our monarch faces on coins switches with each new monarch. You might notice that on coins Queen Elizabeth II's portrait consistently shows the right side of her face. So King Charles II will face to the left instead, just like his grandfather King George VI did on coins, and the monarch after him, presumably William, will (once again) face right, like Elizabeth.
My favourite Canadian Banknotes were the Birds of Canada series (1986-1991), 2nd favourite is the Scenes of Canada series (1969-1979). Both those sets were so iconic, even if the paper banknotes just look dated now.
Hi Tash ~ This is a separate and a complete tangent from your video…but…I was wondering if you enjoy BAKING/COOKING much…or even just watching short videos thereof? If so, I have a great Canadian channel that offers history behind baking/cooking, and provides the recipes. The videos are not long (I know how busy you must be), but I thought you might enjoy them. There are a few darling Aussies in our online community. The name is of the channel is…”Glen and Friends”. Have a wonderful day my friend! Cheers🇨🇦😌🇦🇺 P.S. We are already getting to 30C this week!🫣. I hope you are enjoying your cooler days! I was watching Aussie Football last night and the women’s team from Sydney had recently played a game against Melbourne and the temp was in the 20’s…you came to mind after hearing how you were finally able to enjoy some cooler weather!
Hi Tash; You should Also look at the, dollar bills from the 1970's. They'er Just as Interesting as Our New Ones, Yes they're also the same colour as tne New ones.
The smell of maple syrup may very well be found on any of our bank notes. They do, after all, go through a lot of Canadian hands, and those hands are holding all kinds of foods that we've slathered in sticky maple syrup. Only makes sense that some sticky fingers may have handled the money! 🤔👋😉😄🇨🇦
Hi Tash it's nice to know that a few other Countries use monopoly Bank notes Lol. I remember our 1 dollar bill it was close resemblance to the American 1 dollar bill. I don't ever remember the CN tower in Toronto ever being on any bank notes for the longest time it was the worlds tallest single structure it be nice to have on a bank note and not sure if we had a special coin edition for it .
Mmm no, someone gave me a $100 bill recently. It didn't smell like maple syrup (naturally I checked). 😊 It did smell nice, probably because it's been handled much less. But our bills are plastic and don't really have much smell (compared to U.S. paper money, which can really stink).
According to the Bank of Canada, which produces the country's banknotes, it will be years before images of the King appear on the $20 bill. The current $20 banknote is intended to circulate for years to come, said Bank of Canada spokesperson Amelie Ferron-Craig.Apr 20, 2023
When I was younger (and drunker) I fell in the lake once with my wallet in my pocket. All the paper bills stuck together, since I didn't think to separate them right away. Had to replace a lot of my ID as well. I don't drink much these days, or spend much time in a boat, but it's nice to see the new bills will survive for the next guy who does.
Only the banknotes worth $100 or more smell like maple syrup Tash, anything smaller smells like a either a pine or a cedar tree. The loonies and toonies smell pretty much like any other coin from almost any other place does. There was talk of trying to make our dollar coins scented too, but nobody could figure out what a toonie would smell like. After no consensus was reached, the entire ill-conceived idea was dropped. The idea for the scented $1 coin was also dropped, but sort of for the opposite reason, you see everyone working on the project had a lake house somewhere in Canada, and so they all knew too well what a loonie actually smelled like. Totally true story 😇.
I think you're right on that call. Parliament has already accepted King Charles as the Head of State. It will depend on when they get the official engraving portraiture done. Maybe a year? 🤔
Hi Tash. Great Video. More than 40 Countries use Ploymere banknotes, and Canada was actually kind of late to the game. There was already more than 20 Countries using polymere before we started with our series in Polymere.
the thing is not all the notes smell like maple, it's just the $100 bill & you have to rub the clear strip like a scratch & sniff. This is why many people argue about whether our bills smell like maple.
Tash, Although I'm sure many will disagree with me lol. I worked in an office for over 20 years, where I counted Canadian money pretty much throughout my day and I can tell you the one thing that I found odd was it always smell like maple syrup.
Our money is pretty. I no longer check pockets of others when putting clothes into the washer. Their loss my gain. We can really can say we use laundered money
According to the Royal Mint of Canada, King Charles portrait will adorn sone of our bills, but the changeover will be gradual. As those with the Queen eventually end their life cycle, the ones with Kjng Charles will be gradually put into circulation.
Hello Aussie Tash, this might be an interesting addition to your Dildo, Newfoundland video. There was news footage of a "phallic shaped" iceberg in Newfoundland.
don't tell the Americans that we had a black chick who pulled a Rosa Parks in a movie theater almost a decade ahead of them. bet them 10 bucks we did. then show them what they could have won. and then ask them how much longer it's gonna take for them to get a chick on their money.
I would love to send you a 10 dollar bill with Viola Desmond, but unfortunately, it seems you don't have an address....Pity.... Cheers from Ontario, Canada..
Please have a look at the bottom of the description section of Tash's videos (including this one). There's an address provided there if you want to send her anything. Cheers!
This comment has nothing to do with the video, but I know that you are a big fan of Will Ferrell. He was on James Corden’s last show! Stay safe, stay sane, stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦
I love how most Canadians are just as interested in Australia as you are with Canada. Keep it up Tash cheers buddy!
Cheers hun
Tash, our money is pretty much a cornucopia of facts, history and symbolism. Fun fact: since 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced coinage for over 80 different countries.
The australian mint dose the same thing
The International Minting division of the RCM is one of the most highly respected and popular in the world.
Interesting fact I totally forgot about but our Loony ($1 coin) was buried in the ice at the 2002 Olympics for the Gold Metal Hockey Games which were held in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The day our men's hockey team brought home the Gold in hockey was a day that Canadian's celebrated from coast to coast. What made it even cooler is that both our men's and women's team beat the US on their soil.
The Australian and Swiss notes are also some of the most colorful, historically significant, and secure to be found.
The only problem that I have with our bank notes is that I don't have enough of them.
love it i totally agree lol
OMG Tash, I know you did a video on Dildo, Newfoundland a while back so I thought you'd get a kick out of this.

seen it on my discord, its easy to join come and chat with us all
💖✌🙏hanks Tash. Our money does not smell like maple syrup but it is way cooler than I knew🙏
Morning Tash our Canadian passports are filled with historical info too lol
Ironically, we went to a Blue Jays game at the Roger’s Centre last night (sorry, but it will always be Skydome to me) and there isn’t a single venue or vender in the entire building that accepts cash, electronic transactions only.
You need ti watch the video fir the Canadianpassport! It's amazomg!
If you like the bills , you will be blown aways with the colour coins in circulation.
The glow in the dark toonie $2 is my favorites
Thanks for another great video.
This video didn't mention the different towers of the Parliament buildings on each bank note.
The bills have "bumps" on them to assist the blind but they are NOT Braille.
The 6 bumps on the $5 (arranged like on dice) would be the word "of" in Braille.
Two sets of six on the $10, 3 for the 20, 4 on the 50 and 2 widely spaced for the 100.
we have bump notes on our notes
It took Canada decades to catch up with anything even approaching the "cool" of Australian bank notes!---when I flew to Oz in 1982 and exchanged for some Australian currency at Vancouver Airport I was amazed at the images of the Murriyang (Parkes) Radio Telescope and DNA molecules---maybe on the $10 notes? Your money was also worth a lot more at the time (I took a beating).
Maybe I missed the mention. They have Braille bumps too. Recognized by feel.
I hope they put Terry Fox on any of the bank notes. It would be a well deserved spot.

No other new vertical bills to my knowledge
I have heard talk that there is a push with the Queen gone to replace her with Terry Fox.

its beautiful :)
They also have the denomination in brail on each note

The money DOES smell like maple syrup. But I think it's only when it's new. I didn't believe it until I experienced it myself. But I have smelt it.
Hi Tash; You should Also look at the, dollar bills from the 1970's. They'er Just as Interesting as Our New Ones, Yes they're also the same colour as tne New ones.
The 100 dollar notes do smell like maple syrup. No argument

I don’t know if its maple syrup but they definitely have a sweet smell to them
I enjoy your videos
We haven't seen the Charles III yet, still under design. A few prototypes in consideration. The Brits have made an issue.
just on the coins for us, not notes
I would think King Charles will replace his mother on the 20s and our coins.
I think you're right on that call. Parliament has already accepted King Charles as the Head of State.
It will depend on when they get the official engraving portraiture done.

I certainly hope not. Canadians love our Queen.

Good question about Kinng Charles and both of our money. I don’t think our paper money will change soon. But like you probably coins first.
same as ours
Ironically, Canadians are heavy debit users; top ten by country for debit use. We rarely use cash.
Not sure if someone said it yet, but since the Queen's death they made some toonies with a black edge in commemoration (is that the right word?)
Man, you kind of take them for granted now that they have been in circulation for years, but they, we do have some cool money
I liked your channel congratulations for the work! One day visit my hometown Belém do Pará ! Australian hug 👍🇭🇲❤️🇧🇷🇨🇦🇩🇪☺️

Similar to the passport, Canadian bills look very different under black light.
video on your passports coming soon, very cool
Does Canadian money smell like maple syrup or does maple syrup smell like money?
B'ys, go to a restaurant and order a chicken dish. When the waitperson asks how your meal is, say "Tastes like frog legs."
I keep a $20 bill in my wallet, but I haven't used real money in years.
Our money smells like plastic and pockets. That's it. 😅
don't really use notes much these days, its strange. Covid really did change the world
This Canadian has been to Australia.
