Thanks for all the super insightful comments informing me that the Queen is in fact a woman. If you'd listened, I say "one of the first" - if you disregard Royalty (as is the custom with banknotes, they're generally on there by default), then Agnes MacPhail was the first (on the 150th anniversary $10), and Viola Desmond second.
The Queen won't be on our notes forever. The $20 bill has whoever the living monarch is, meaning the Queen will eventually be replaced by King Charles, who will eventually be replaced by King William (or whatever royal names they'll take). Those of us who can use our brains understood why you skipped her over and said "one of the first".

Hello a fellow Canadian here. Thank you very much for making this video! Im a cashier so I handle these bills constantly and I can say without a doubt that a fresh bill does smell like maple syrup. In fact when you have a cash register full of new bills it can be really over powering. But the older the bill the more it wears off. If your bill doesn’t smell like maple syrup it’s an old bill. Our bills also have Braille in the corners for blind citizens ;) Great video!

As cool as it would be to have Commander Chris Hadfield on our 5 dollar bank note, that's not actually him on the bill. The depiction of the astronaut represents "all Canadians who have contributed to the space program and the scientific research conducted on board the International Space Station", and thus omits all mission and rank identification other than the Canadian flag patch.
I have officially read this everywhere. However there’s a video of Chris Hadfield visiting a school in a remote arctic community in Northwrn Canada in which he says it is him, so I’ve always taken that to be the truth

In Canada, way back in 1935, then 8-year-old Princess Elizabeth (who later became Queen Elizabeth II), was first seen on the $20 note (Canada beat everyone). A new design of notes were made 1953 when she finally became queen (as many countries did who had her as their monarch) . It was also the first and last time where she would be featured on every single Canadian banknote (ie, the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000). In 1969 (the next redesign), she was only on the 1, 2 and 20. By 1986 she was on two notes, the 2 and 20, because the $1 note was discontinued in favour of a dollar coin. By 2001 she was only in the $20, because in 1996 Canada switched to a $2 coin. By 2011 she was on two notes, but they were both 20's.(a regular and a commemorative note). That was the last redesign the BOC (Bank of Canada) did. The next redesign/series of notes are not yet know. Considering that Canada has been using polymer notes since 2011, and the BOC has mentioned that the expected lifespan of their notes is around 16 years, that commemorative $20 was released in 2015... so it might be the 2030's before before King Charles III shows up, but some say that's not guaranteed. Some say Canada no longer needs a royal on any banknote, but it's still undecided as to what will really happen. In the meantime, CIII is expected to be on Canadian coins by 2024, but beyond that, QEII might be the last royal to be seen on a Canadian banknote.

+Adam Skinner But one could use that argument for primeministers than too. There is no divide on representation among genders on bank notes, they are simply prime ministers, the next one could be a woman
I am a Canadian who doesn't like the new bill. Vertical bills are less practical (because wallets are horizontal). And I also don't think it's a good idea to remove the first prime minister from a bill. (Viola Desmond was a good choice, not trying to diminish the fact they found a suitable replacement to put on a bill)
Yeah, but in a cash register they're verticle. Since people who spend all day handling money handle the notes vertically it makes sense. And yeah, John A Macdonald is the only famous historic Canadian I know, as a British person who lived there for 3 years (as a child). Also what's the deal with the brown 100 dollar note lol. I lived in Australia, theirs is green. The Australians have a yellow 50 dollar note, yellow looks way better than brown.
It's more practical for money handling. Also, you just need to look at the colour of the bill to know its value; the orientation of the bill doesn't matter.
Im proud to be Canadian. Thanks for making this video by the way. Appreciate your time and efforts to educate others on the history of our dollar bills
If Malaysia can use this concept of vertical banknotes from the Swiss and Canadians, it would make our Ringgit banknotes cooler than ever before. And Japan should follow these concepts too.
I think it's a psychological trick... people don't think anything about it until someone suggests it is and then their brain tries to convince them. I've smelled maple syrup and this is not the same as bills.
char m The reason why it smells like maple syrup (to some people) is because the ink, Polymer and weathering resistant coating on the banknote, when mixed together and used on the same object it gives off a smell (maple syrup). And when the banknote gets older and is used more, the smell goes away because it has been used and the resistant coating has worn off. The smell isn’t on purpose as it is only because of those reasons.

FYI, Polymer notes were invented in here, in Australia back in the 80's, Australia makes the polymer notes for around 20 countries. One thing I have found, is that plastic money doesn't smell like paper money that has been around for a while.
The coolest note is the 5 dollar bill. Just love the Canadarm being on it, and proud of what the nation has accomplished. Also it’s blue which is my fav. Being a proud Canadian living in Japan, I always have a 5 in my wallet to show friends over here how cool it is.
As a fellow Canadian, I was very confused when the vertical bill first came out. I was also lots of mixed emotions. I hoped that it was just a dream and it would change back to normal soon. I also thought it was really cool that their doing this. I find it’s bizarre that people are very interested in the Canadian bills. And even more so that people are making videos about it! Yes. I do find that the bills smell like maple syrup, either just sweet, or maple syrup. My parents don’t think this though. So I say it’s a 50/50 decision on either it smells like maple syrup, or it just smells sweet, or doesn’t smell like anything. For now on, I am going to pay more attention to my bills. I am very proud of my fellow Canadians. Thank you for reading.

After the winner of the new $10. Bill was a Canadian black activist I googled her and found she was a successful business woman AFTER leaving Canada. She was arrested in a theater in Nova Scotia sitting in the white section. She was fined, had her day in court, paid the fine and LEFT Canada for, i believe, New York. Really, a black activists? Tried googling her again after the bill was put into circulation. No information was found except her success in business, the theater incident. And place of death Hummmmm

Bruh I haven’t had this much Canadian pride in a while. I’ve never seen anyone appreciate Canadian bills like this before
In Canada, way back in 1935, then 8-year-old Princess Elizabeth (who later became Queen Elizabeth II), was first seen on the $20 note (Canada beat everyone). A new design of notes were made 1953 when she finally became queen (as many countries did who had her as their monarch) . It was also the first and last time where she would be featured on every single Canadian banknote (ie, the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000). In 1969 (the next redesign), she was only on the 1, 2 and 20. By 1986 she was on two notes, the 2 and 20, because the $1 note was discontinued in favour of a dollar coin. By 2001 she was only in the $20, because in 1996 Canada switched to a $2 coin. By 2011 she was on two notes, but they were both 20's.(a regular and a commemorative note). That was the last redesign the BOC (Bank of Canada) did. The next redesign/series of notes are not yet know. Considering that Canada has been using polymer notes since 2011, and the BOC has mentioned that the expected lifespan of their notes is around 16 years, that commemorative $20 was released in 2015... so it might be the 2030's before before King Charles III shows up, but some say that's not guaranteed. Some say Canada no longer needs a royal on any banknote, but it's still undecided as to what will really happen. In the meantime, CIII is expected to be on Canadian coins by 2024, but beyond that, QEII might be the last royal to be seen on a Canadian banknote.

When you want to have all Swiss franc bills in one shot but the 1000 bill is a bit too expensive
The reason being is in 2 or 3 days time they're releasing the new 1000, so I'm waiting for that. There will be a video about them as soon as I get my hands on one :)
Half-Asleep Chris
understandable have a great day
Thank you for featuring Canada! I never expected something about my country to be on your channel!
I'm Canadian, and it bothers me to no end that the new $10 is vertical! Doesn't match anything else in my wallet!
... maybe I'm over reacting. lol
Hopefully the other bills gets updated as well.
agree - but i like the vertical bill. I'm a cashier so they sit vertically in my drawer, it just looks better IMO. they just need to update the others!
I'm an Aussie it's driving me nuts
They are of "colour"😂
I agree with the first half. This makes me understand why people were burnt at stake hundreds of years ago.

But one could use that argument for primeministers than too. There is no divide on representation among genders on bank notes, they are simply prime ministers, the next one could be a woman
I am a Canadian who doesn't like the new bill. Vertical bills are less practical (because wallets are horizontal). And I also don't think it's a good idea to remove the first prime minister from a bill. (Viola Desmond was a good choice, not trying to diminish the fact they found a suitable replacement to put on a bill)
Yeah, but in a cash register they're verticle. Since people who spend all day handling money handle the notes vertically it makes sense. And yeah, John A Macdonald is the only famous historic Canadian I know, as a British person who lived there for 3 years (as a child). Also what's the deal with the brown 100 dollar note lol. I lived in Australia, theirs is green. The Australians have a yellow 50 dollar note, yellow looks way better than brown.
you know you can still put it in your wallet like you always did?
It's more practical for money handling. Also, you just need to look at the colour of the bill to know its value; the orientation of the bill doesn't matter.
@@R3lay0 Yeah but the 10 is sideways. If I am gonna have one 10 in my wallet I don't want it horizontal
@@fourdoorsmoresmores That's gonna change as they release more of the series
Im proud to be Canadian.
Thanks for making this video by the way.
Appreciate your time and efforts to educate others on the history of our dollar bills
If Malaysia can use this concept of vertical banknotes from the Swiss and Canadians, it would make our Ringgit banknotes cooler than ever before.
And Japan should follow these concepts too.
Great way of showing the country's treasures and contributions to the world.
Hahahaha our currency most definitely does NOT smell like syrup. That's hilarious though haha
I think it's a psychological trick... people don't think anything about it until someone suggests it is and then their brain tries to convince them. I've smelled maple syrup and this is not the same as bills.
char m The reason why it smells like maple syrup (to some people) is because the ink, Polymer and weathering resistant coating on the banknote, when mixed together and used on the same object it gives off a smell (maple syrup). And when the banknote gets older and is used more, the smell goes away because it has been used and the resistant coating has worn off. The smell isn’t on purpose as it is only because of those reasons.
I can confirm that the bills do in fact smell like maple syrup.
No they don't.
@@addledhead Yes they do
Like the Swiss Francs!
Yer, good like Kazakh banknotes.
I clicked on this because I was given this vertical bill today, it's really beautiful and I thought it was funny that this is in my recommended!
I'm really glad you made this video, I've never seen those specialty bank notes and I've lived in Canada all my life

sorry Elizabeth
Fun fact: Canada also minted Million dollar coins.
when?!
@@stellacepttekai Five have been produced in all, the first one in 2007. Each coin is made of 100kg of pure gold (not something you carry in your pocket) and has a face value of one million dollars (actual value in gold today approx. 5.5 or 6 millions CAD). One has been stolen from a museum in Berlin in March 2017 and was never recovered.
*portrait mode*
Outstanding move
Maravillosa jugada (sorry, I am not Spanish. That's origin of the meme)
As a Canadian I’m happy that people are interested in our history and I didn’t know that on the $10 bill was an abstract map of Halifax because I live only a few hours away from there and I I have been to Halifax many times
In the beginning I was also impressed with the canadian bank notes but after living here for a year can't wait to go back to our euro.
Isn't the Queen a woman or am I missing something?
Yeah, you're missing the fact that he said "one fo the first".
Nah, the queen is an interdimensional space reptile.
"one of the first" is what you're missing

Yay notifications worked! Love this channel and always glad to watch it. Also do you still have those cards you were going to respond to letters in? I never got the chance to write and wanted to know.

@@HalfAsleepChris ok thanks
I haven't even come across the vertical bank note yet......I feel like going to the bank just to take out $10 to get one ha ha.
Kay - Den you still haven’t gotten one? What province do you live in?
@@malamutemonster4589 Alberta, but I don't often have cash on me. However, I thought by now I would have at least come across one.
FYI, Polymer notes were invented in here, in Australia back in the 80's, Australia makes the polymer notes for around 20 countries. One thing I have found, is that plastic money doesn't smell like paper money that has been around for a while.
Vertical bank notes make literally no sense without VERTICAL WALLETS.
You hold the notes up vertically while counting.....
@@mr0mumbles You right. They should make all notes vertical. But I still believe in vertical wallets.
Turn your wallet 90 degrees... Bingo, theres your vertical wallet
Why does everyone switch to vertical?
Filipeczeg Because when you count notes, you hold them vertically
Because people are too lazy to rotate their phones to record so you get vertical video.
Farouq Omaro the orientation doesn’t matter when you are counting because you can tell the notes apart easily from the colours
Only real Canadians can smell the maple syrup.
accurate
I like how Canadian money is colorful and plasticy and I also love how American money is cool looking as well and I like how it feels
The coolest note is the 5 dollar bill. Just love the Canadarm being on it, and proud of what the nation has accomplished. Also it’s blue which is my fav. Being a proud Canadian living in Japan, I always have a 5 in my wallet to show friends over here how cool it is.
They tryna one up Aussie money! (Jk I’m not actually being serious 😂)

@@cindyhua3951 one of the first *notes* you are forgetting half a century. It's refering to the *NOTES* not the person.
As a fellow Canadian, I was very confused when the vertical bill first came out. I was also lots of mixed emotions. I hoped that it was just a dream and it would change back to normal soon. I also thought it was really cool that their doing this.
I find it’s bizarre that people are very interested in the Canadian bills. And even more so that people are making videos about it!
Yes. I do find that the bills smell like maple syrup, either just sweet, or maple syrup. My parents don’t think this though. So I say it’s a 50/50 decision on either it smells like maple syrup, or it just smells sweet, or doesn’t smell like anything.
For now on, I am going to pay more attention to my bills.
I am very proud of my fellow Canadians.
Thank you for reading.
1:34 Insulin was actually developed by Romanian Paulescu. He was disqualified from Nobel prize on basis of being antisemitic and the prize ended to 2 Canadians instead. But the real discovery still belongs to Paulescu

No they don't smell like maple sirup.
After the winner of the new $10. Bill was a Canadian black activist
I googled her and found she was a successful business woman AFTER leaving Canada. She was arrested in a theater in Nova Scotia sitting in the white section. She was fined, had her day in court, paid the fine and LEFT Canada for, i believe, New York.
Really, a black activists?
Tried googling her again after the bill was put into circulation.
No information was found except her success in business, the theater incident.
And place of death
Hummmmm
Yeah sure. One of the first women.
The queen just said “bite me, pinhead”.
"one of"
So brilliantly done. So good to see all those bank notes clearly presented for viewing; one can stop the video at any time and study any view you have presented. I had no knowledge whatsoever of Viola. Very wonderful video, as are all of your videos! Thank you !
