Last of the series Canada 150 : Celebrate the Holiday Season with a Special $ 10 Note
This holiday season , why not give your loved ones the gift of a wallet-sized piece of history to mark an important Canadian milestone ?
In June this year , the Bank of Canada , which produces Canada ’ s bank notes , issued a limited-supply $ 10 note celebrating the 150th anniversary of Confederation , with a distinctive design depicting the country ’ s history , land and culture .
The Canada 150 note came into circulation officially on June 1 and is only the fourth commemorative note issued by the Bank in its 82-year history .
A series of successful events across the country were held over the spring and summer to introduce the note to Canadians .
For the first time , four individuals are portrayed on the front of a Canadian bank note — Sir John A . Macdonald , Sir George-Étienne Cartier , Agnes Macphail and James Gladstone , or Akay-na-muka ( his Blackfoot name ). These notable parliamentarians were celebrated at places of significance to each of them , at recognition events in places like Owen Sound , Ontario and Stand Off , Alberta . Other celebrations were also held in each major region of the country — the West Coast , the Prairie provinces , Central Canada , the Atlantic provinces and the North — the five different landscapes depicted on the back of the note .
And Canadians told the Bank they liked what they saw .
This note represents several firsts for a Bank of Canada note , including the first time that a portrait of a Canadian woman is shown on one of our notes and the first time that an Indigenous Canadian appears as a portrait subject .
As with all Canadian bank notes , security is paramount in the design of the Canada 150 note . The note has several security features — some new and others that are similar to the features on the current series of polymer notes .
The Bank has issued 40 million of these notes in total , about one for each Canadian , and worked with financial institutions to make them available to Canadians .
While commemorative notes such as the Canada 150 note can be used for payment , just like all other notes issued
by the Bank , some Canadians may choose to preserve the bills as small pieces of history .
E i t h e r way , the Canada 150 note will be an important reminder for Canadians of our country ’ s sesquicentennial year .
If you ’ re interested in giving this historical memento , or getting one for yourself , keep an eye on the change in your cash transactions , or check with your local bank or credit union .
And late next year will bring another historic first : as announced in December 2016 , the next new regularly circulating $ 10 bank note is coming . It will feature the portrait of Viola Desmond , a champion for social justice and iconic
