I thought I'd add that we recently changed the face of the $10 to the first non Royal/politician to grace our money, Viola Desmonds. She's often referred to as Canada's Rosa Parks, even though she came first. It is also our first vertical bank note and it's beautiful.
When Canada switched over to polymer technology for our bills it was an Australian company who supplied us the materials since they had been doing polymer notes since the 90s
We also have a 5c coin. We were also the pioneers of the modern polymer note, hence the presses and stock used for manufacture of polymer notes around the world are Australian.
They were originally going to call the $2 coin double loons, but those of us here in Atlantic Canada would've started calling them doubloons! Ha ha ha!
Thank you for polymer notes, Australia. It's so much better than paper notes. There are some security features on Canadian notes that she didn't go into. There's a metal strip that when tilted reveals maple leaves that change colour. A ghost image of the portrait appears when you hold the bill up to a light. Dashes form a solid line when held up to a light but also change colour from gold to green if you tilt the bill. Irregular marks form a complete number if you hold it up to a light. There are raised bits on 3 different parts the bill. Under UV light parts of the bill show up in red and yellow.
Our $10 bill has changed since this video it is a vertical banknote and it's the 1st to feature a women other than the queen on it
I miss the old $50 bill. It used to be the most colourful and multicoloured of Canada's bills, with a depiction of the RCMP musical ride on it.
Those were classic!
Yep, the red serge on black horses and green grass was REALLY well done.
We have Australia to thank for inventing the polymer notes we now use. She didn’t mention it but we also have Braille on our notes. Americans always make fun of our notes and call them “ Monopoly Money “. But we love our bills. To me American money is drab and uninteresting.
As someone who worked in the back office type areas of a major canadian bank, we often got early looks at new canadian notes before they were released. I can tell you that Australian notes were considered some of the best notes in the world and often were the inspiration for new features. So there you go
Fun fact If you shine a laser through the maple leaf it will project the value of the note, and yes the notes have brail.
Yes Tash. Canadian bills also have braille. I am surprised presenter did not mention it. Also, the penny was made of copper, the nickle was made of nickle. At one time the dime was silver (likely why it was so small) and the quarter was also silver although that has changed as well. We also had/have silver dollar coins.
Braille was a good addition to the new money. Blind people used to fold each bill a different way so they could tell them apart in their wallets. The polymer bills don't fold, so the addition of the braille was very important.
hearing the call of the loon like that made this one of the best things i've ever seen! so now you know why we can be referred to as loonietwoonies and canuckleheads.
Aussie Tash, I grew up in Sudbury, Ontario, the home of the “Big Nickel”. I also worked for 24 years at the second largest nickel mine in the world… INCO which is now Vale. We mined Nickel and Copper… also had Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium (precious metals) that are recovered during extraction.
The side edges of our coins are also shaped to assist the blind. The Tooney has knurled edges.
Also yes, you're right, we have braille on our banknotes, too!
Also before our polymer notes came out, the previous series of paper notes featured a $1,000.00 bill.
Apparently the direction a monarch is facing on a coin changes with each new one. The queen is facing to the right on my coins. So Charles will face left if they put him on them.
Some errors and omissions: 1) the Rockies are indeed pictured on the $10 note, but the image taken is from the Alberta side, in Jasper. 2) Vimy Ridge was a very significant battle in terms of Canadian nationalism but didn't have a dramatic impact on the war. 3) It should be noted that Mackenzie King was totally nuts and regularly communed with his dead dogs (among other things). 4) The Inuit are not First Nations and are a separate grouping of Indigenous people.
Cheers Mate, Vimy Ridge will cover that battle soon :)
They’re all Indians.
@@JesusFriedChrist Yeah don’t let anyone actually hear you say that.
Only people from India are Indians, We have Indigenous, or first nations people, and the Inuit. I grew up knowing Cree's and other nationalities. Think of others.
Also not mentioned, on the back of the $100, I believe the researcher is looking through a Carl Zeiss Axioplan 2 imaging microscope which although unstated might be paying homage to the electron microscope which had early development in Canada at the UofT not far off its origination in Germany. There are also DNA symbols on the bill.
I love that Aussie banknotes have a woman on one side and a man on the other. And yes, our notes have “tactile identification features”. $5 has a block of 6 dots; $10 has two blocks of 6 like the sixes on a set of dice; $20 has 3 blocks and $50 has 4. The blocks are like the 6 on a die . The $100 has two blocks of 6 but with a double space between the two blocks.
Canada doesn't just produce its own money. The Royal Canadian Mint, which produces our coins, also produces coins for 70 other countries such as Cuba, Colombia, Iceland, and Thailand, among others. The Bank of Canada, through the Canadian banknote company, produces bills for many countries as well, New Zealand being one of them.
I did not know that, thanks for sharing it.
I liked this video. I actually learned a lot. I knew about many of them, and other things were new. I do not use cash very often. The Royal Canadian Mint makes hundreds of different coins for things. As a palaeontologists my fav is a quarter with dinosaurs on. Alberta is one of the world largest fossil locations. Our new 5 dollar bill has the "In Flanders Fields" poem on. It is truly an amazing story. If you want, look into our remembrance Day service. We do not just remember our soldiers. It is mostly ours, but everyone who has fought for their country.
Focusing on Alberta atm so stay tuned :)
I received a $5.00 coin from the mint today.
The Queen's portrait is in full colour. It is the size is a Toonie. On the reverse it shows all 5 profiles of the Queen and is dated 1952-2022, meaning 2023.
Also, why doesn't anyone mention our 50 cent piece or the silver dollar?
Yes, our bills have braille (raised dots) for the visually impaired, located at the top left of each bill.
The 1954 series had raised ink too help those with sight difficulties tell the bills apart. This system is not Braille. It was developed in consultation with Canadians who are blind or partially sighted after research indicated that not all users read Braille.
Canada also has a 50 cent piece but you don't see them very often. Prior to the Loonie we had silver dollars. They are sometimes still manufactured but only as commemorative pieces.
We got the idea for the polymer notes from you guys. Thank you. 🇨🇦🍺Cheers from 🇨🇦
When she said that hands were set to 11 o'clock, I looked at my clock on my computer at it was 11:00!!
very cool
The video failed to mention the most asked question by our American neighbours; "If you leave a bill in your pocket, does it melt in the dryer?" LOL The polymer notes will melt between 265 and 340 degrees F, which is far above the heat of a dryer.
A couple of cool security features that weren't mentioned include that parts of the polymer bills glow under UV light; and, if you shine a laser through the translucent maple leaf, the denomination of the bill can be projected on the wall (you can also just hold the maple leaf up to your eye and look at a regular light source but using a laser is cooler). Also, despite what ANYONE tells you, Canadian bills smelling like maple syrup is just a myth.
Brand new $100 bills do have a sweet scent that is similar to maple syrup. I believe it is used to help detect currency smugglers and other illegal activities and that the customs dogs are trained for it. It dissipates once out in circulation for a while.
@@christinec4919 The Bank of Canada has stated several times that they do not add any scent to $100 bills. It's just a case of the power of suggestion. People smell it because they heard it smells like that.
@@CanadianTimeLord Then the scent is added somewhere else. I have handled stacks of new hundreds a few times and there is definitely a scent. Have not noticed it on other denominations only the new 100s. Respectfully I have to disagree with you.
@@christinec4919 could be the glue on the band they use to hold the bundle together
You mentioned security features. This video doesn't mention that all of these complicated features were also to prevent counterfeiting, which was a problem in the past.
Yes our bank notes have braille on them. 🇨🇦
Not really. The tactile identifier "bumps" do not translate into Braille.
If read as Braille the $5 bill says "for", the $10 is "for, for", the $20 is "for, for, for"...
Still, a brilliant identification aid for those who need it.
Thanks a lot for your reaction--very interesting that you also showed us australian bills, so we can compare them. If you want, you can also search for our new 10 $ bill, bcs it changed a few years ago for various reasons. Have a nice day.
I will check it out
Worth mentioning that there are three other bills that are no longer legal tender. There were $25 and $500 bills that stopped being issued in 1935, and a $1000 bill removed from issue in 2000. I used to work in a casino and we'd give jackpot winners five $1000 bills plus a cheque for the remainder.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with Adam Hills; he's an Australian comedian living in the UK. In one of his bits from about 15 years ago he went on a long discussion of all the features of Canadian money, summing it up as: "Canada is the only country in the world where two blind lesbians can get married and pay cash."
She didn't mention the practice of Spocking the Five. Some people like to alter the $5 bill to make Wilfred Laurier look like Spock. It started around the time of Leonard Nimoy's death. Of course Wiliam Shatner and James (Scotty) Doohan are Canadian, and there is a town called Vulcan in Canada, but Leonard's not Canadian.
I love that :)
And she wouldn't have because she's teaching ESL.
@@brandy3198 Ummm, sure. And that makes my statement any less intresting how?
Your notes looks awesome. We are twins!
She should have gone over the special Bills as well. But oh well. Also hopefully this video piqued your interest in Canadian Ww1 and Ww2 contributions. There are many historic battles that Canadian was a part of and Sadly we lost a lot of solders in the world wars.
Battle Of Vimy video coming :)
Honestly, most places don't care whether a coin is American or Canadian (at least in border regions), they're just SO similar in size, denomination, appearance, etc....
Interesting enough we did used to have 50 cent coin, but it went out of circulation decades ago. It's still minted for collectors and commemorative purposes. Yes, we also have braille on our bills. Another thing that we don't see anymore is the $1000 bill, which also went out of circulation decades ago. It's worth looking into the evolution of the bills' design over the years to see how it progressed to it's current look.
$0.50 coins are still a thing. They're just not common at all.
@KYLE G. T. Just Two days ago I got 2 100 dollar bills from a bank machine. The 100 dollar cill is Still being used.
Can you spot all the animals located on the 2 dollar coin? Sure, there's a Polar Bear...but you can also see four penguins and even a Tyrannosaurus Rex if you hold it right.
Or, you can just say it's "The Queen with a Bear Behind". The spelling of "bear" is key here. ;)
I remember when that made the rounds, people would actually show you while holding the coin and moving their (finger/thumb?) on the coin.
I actually live in Sudbury ON and I see the giant Nickel every time I drive pass it. Sudbury is known for its Nickel Mines.
Sounds like Loony Tunes was a popular cartoon series in Canada. I still have no idea (speaking as a Brit) why the silver sixpence coin in Britain was known as "a tanner". I'm sure someone who does know will comment on this below ;-)
The coins are different in size to help the visually impaired tell them apart. The edges of the coins are also different to further help people with smooth edges on nickels & loonies, notched edges on dimes & quarters. The toonie had alternating smooth/notched edges at one point but I'm not sure if it still does now (I don't have a toonie handy to check). Sometimes you'll come across a nickel that isn't round and instead has 12-sides (they were made in 1942-1963).
All of our bank notes (Cdn) have braille on them also.
We have braille on our notes also.
My favourite Australian coins come from the Perth Mint and are silver and gold...
Unlike Australia, the different denominations of bills are all the same dimensions.
Hi again AussieTash, another great video, I enjoyed it immensely. I'm not sure how old this video is but there is now a new $10 Canadian bill featuring a "civil and women's rights activist and businesswoman of Black Nova Scotian descent" named Viola Desmond. It's basically the same colour as the previous $10 bill but it has a completely new design. It also has the distinction of being Canada's only "vertical" bill. As you can see our other bills are all horizontal. Cheers from southern Ontario!
Up here in Canada, We Also have a 50 cent peice. You don't see too often. You need to ask for it at the Bank.
Just looked at my 10 dollar bill mine has viola Desmond which you reacted to her in one of the heritage minutes.
With our work in the various wars, and cooperation in th United Nations neither Canada or Australia has ever 'lost' a war.
braille is on all notes to let the non sited and partial site to know which note they have
There is a 50 Cent coin but it os not usually distributed to the general pubic but is usually only sold to collectors ... All Canadian banknotes have braille ... The new Canadian 10 Dollar banknote has Viola Desmond on it and the bill is vertical ...Canada had a 1000 Dollar Banknote till the year 2000
It's the "Canadarm" not "Canada Arm" that's on our $5 bill :P
When the 2 dollar bill started being called toonies, to go along with the loonies, I kind of rolled my eyes because of the reference to Looney Tunes. I think it is funny now. I am surprised none of these videos mention this.
The bills in Canada also have brail. I actually think it’s illegal not to have it.
We also have a 50c coin. It's just not in circulation and it's the size of the Loonie but in Silver. You can get it when you purchase a commemorative set or uncircluated set from the mint.
Our bills do have Brail on them. They might even have bar codes, at least they used to.
Oh my! Your currency is gorgeous. The duotone really stands out. I really wish that Canada could perhaps incorporate that idea with our currency.
Yes, we absolutely have braille on the bills.
It's been dope Tash, 🙌 I enjoy your videos. Gonna watch another one.
Cheers Mate :)
and if you find the Mounted RCMP officer and if the Pennant is facing forward it was a miss-strike and is rare and worth money to collector's
im canadian and i agree with you ,but dont leave your money on a hot surface... i did that with my money and all the bills just glued themselfs together. went to the bank and they siad ..thats a you problem not ours. (all the number to make sure its real money were melted and couldnt be seen properly)
Oh, that seriously sucks, can't believe the bank wouldn't help you out with that. Harsh
you should see "Glory Enough for All " which is a movie about Banting and insulin discovery -- if you've not seen it already
added
@@aussietashreacts Long ago, I used to say that Glory Enough for All (little known to Canadians) should have been on PBS' Masterpiece Theater which pretty much showed only British drama. Later came to find out it WAS shown on MT. RH Thomson (one of my favourite actors) played Banting, somewhat a similar person as John McCrae who wrote In Flanders Fields. Thomson's scenes with Kate Trotter are repressively lustful, likely quite realistic for the time.
Many of the versions on RUclips are incomplete or have audio issues, I think these two parts are ok.

she didn't mention the 50-cent coin and the $1000 Dollar bill although they have been discontinued they still pop up from time to time
I have seen other people react to this video and I'm just starting to realise the way she is talking it's like she is talking to a child imo. Not that I've noticed this I can't stop laughing at that
I believe she is speaking in a very prounced way for those new to the English language.
Teaching ESL
I'm Canadian and I didn't know half of these things.
She seems to be talking to toddlers.
I'll give your video a "like" but, I couldn't make it past the 3 minute mark.
She's teaching English to Koreans
Maybe shes a teacher
Lmfao glad I'm not the only one who caught on to that
Canadian English teacher with over 12 years of experience teaching ESL to international students
@@Ottawajames That would make sense. But, her effort for clarity comes across as incredibly condescending.
The girl in the video didnt touch on it, (no pun intended) but all of our bills include brail as well
We do have brail on our money as well.
Good morning TASH☕️☕️🍩🍩Coffee and donuts for ya
Good morning!
Hey Mate, the Australia Day Video is coming xx
Your morning is my afternoon tea. Having a coffee and a cherry ripe :)
Bills are not used much and any bill over $20 is rarely seen. Debit and credit cards are used for their convenience is the norm.
Depends on the demographic and where you live. Small towns generally have about the same number of people using cash as are using a card, also older Canadians often favor cash over cards. But in big cities using debit/credit cards is the norm.
We do have braille on our notes.
I grew up, 25 miles north of the Big Nickel in Sudbury. In fact, I was born in the back seat of a taxi. We didn’t have a car, so my dad call our one taxi in town, went to pick up the doctor in town. My mom and the doctor were in the back, my dad up front, for the 45 minute drive to the hospital ( this was @1:00 am in the morning). My grandmother came over to watch my siblings.
Our small town had a big railway presence and for 35 years had an iron ore mine that kept it alive.
It was interesting to see real Aussie money. Some say our 50 dollar bill smells like maple syrup!
( I have never had that many 50’s to tell! Lol
I saw your pup! What breed is it?
Would be nice to see it! I am a dog lover!
Stay safe,stay sane, stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦
always love reading your comments, cheers mate :)
Sorry bro, not Braille.
There ARE (sets of six) tactile bumps on the bills to denote their value. If read in Braille, a $5 bill says "for", a $10 says "for, for", $20 is "for, for, for", until the $100 as "for..........for".
It's a hugely common mis-conception and I understand it.
I'm Canadian and I detest the polymer bank notes , they tear easily and stick together when you are counting them which can prove to be expensive
fair point mate
Our money has brail too 🇨🇦
I have a question being from Canada, we have the Poppy to Remember are poem Flanders Fields does Australia have a symbol for Gallipoli where you lost so many in World War I?
We also use the Poppy and Ode of Remembrance
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
Response:
We will remember them
Lest we forget
When the Ode is recited at a commemorative service, visitors should stand, remove headwear and refrain from talking.
I love hearing this poem, it gives me goosebumps
There is a video about the history of the poppy and how it came to symbolize remembrance. It touches on John McCrea, and the poem In Flanders Field!
Stay safe, stay sane, stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦
@@sirdavidoftor3413 the poppy for us has become a symbol of all Canadian loss in war no matter which conflict but I'm proud its a symbol we all share so if the Allied nations of the West gather to remember we can all wear the poppy with pride.
@@toddcraner3843 : I am as well. I had many uncles in the Army, and my mom’s family was from the village of Petawawa, so many army families. One of my uncles was one of the first Canadian troops in Cypress. I remember when he came back, he was not the same man I knew.
Stay safe, stay sane, stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦
@@sirdavidoftor3413 My Grandfather took part in the liberation of Holland and in the end thou he was proud of what he did what he saw destroyed him. I agree victory to the Ukraine.
The Value of the Canadian dollar and its purchasing power today are strictly aspirational, growing up every note said' Pay to bearer on demand' in theory making the note a gold certificate backed by a pile of the metal stashed somewhere. Now all notes say' this note is legal tender' and its value is what it is because the bank says it is. Sad really, my net worth is at the mercy of the rise and fall of the Dow Jones Industrial index, or a mine collapse in Peru, or OPEC and not the steady value of Gold.
Our bills also have brail on them even though she has not pointed it out
Aussie Tash take a look at a video of Beautiful Long Island, Newfoundland 2018
The inclusion of Charles III on our money is a open question in Canada as well. It's likely that he'll get his face on our coins, but not necessarily on our bills. At this time, Queen Elizabeth II is only on our $20 bill.
The video is a little out of date, of course. For the $10 bill, John A. Macdonald had been replaced by Viola Desmond (who was effectively the Canadian version of Rosa Parks). Macdonald had become a more controversial figure in the last few years because of his involvement in the Indigenous residential school system, especially after the discovery of mass graves at old residential school sites.
He is only going on coins in australia i believe
would love about british euro swiss money other currencies
I like your videos.
cheers mate :)
Hi Tash👋from 🇨🇦
Hey there!
Yes there is brail on our bills.
Americans make fun of Canadian money, comparing the different colours to Monopoly money. But the US is the odd one out internationally with most nations having different colours for different bills. I find it is least easy to adapt to the money in the US because with it all being green, you need to look carefully at it before spending it, and it is harder to spot the correct bill in your wallet. Ironically, the green ink used in US money was invented in and comes from Canada. The US still used paper money the last time I was there a few years ago, so they're behind on that too.
She did not explain why the dime is smaller
it's not a penny, it's a 1-cent piece. Pennies are found in England
? Regardless of its use of the same term as an English coin, the one cent coin in Canada is a Canadian penny.
coins stories
Canada and australia or like both side of a coin
Hey Tash can I borrow some money 😉 lol
now do australian money stories new zealand
I agree with craftaero. I cant listen to her. Still give a like, but just no. Sorry.
I know right she is hard to listen to, but she taught me a lot, so cheers for watching :)
@Aussie Tash Reacts thats all that matters, learning. I am already farmilliar with Canadian money as i live here. Lol, if i remember correctly when we introduced the polymer bills here, they followed the AUS bills, and were made in AUS. They may still be, beause that production facility is isanely expensive to build, so im not sure if they built one here as well.
Dropping the Heritage Minutes Series tonight, so stayed tuned :)
@@aussietashreacts ah, heritage minutes, pure nostalgia for me. Haha. I remember most of them. I grew up watching them at every commercial break. Kind of sad they don't do them anymore. 😔
An incredible series and I have only watch the first 8 episodes and there is 96 stories I believe :)
I really can’t stand that chick lol
Thanks and greetings from Canada. It's not funny money it's not Monopoly money it's just some of the most amazing money that you'll ever see, because we are changing it every time something significant happens. Check out the Calgary Olympic coins from 1988. We change our money constantly to coincide with some historical event. If you collect one of our bills or coins from these eras they are probably of value. BTW, Canadian Mint is currently working on a coin to commemorate Queen Elizabeth the second and ushering in King Charles. And now that I've seen your money, and how it looks similar, I might want to move down there. Don't think I would have much worries. Cheers
Yeah our money has pizzazz.
Australia's notes kill ours in Canada. I mean I knew the average American was jealous of Canadian money for its color but Jesus I am jealous of Australian
