[edit] Birds of Canada series $10

The $10 bill wasn't purple, it was brown...wasn't it?Ouuplas 07:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Nope. See: http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/general/character/1986_10.html. --thirty-seven 07:27, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
You must be much more accustomed to dealing with $100 bills than I am.  :-) --P3d0 13:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Heh, weird, it always looked brown to me. Ouuplas 20:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current banknote image

This image is out of date, as it includes the "old" version of the $10 bill before the new security features were added. However, given that the $5 bill will gain the same security features in November, it may make sense to leave the image until then and update both bills at once. Daveharr 12:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

If you scroll down, then you will find images of the new $10 bill with not-so-high resolution. --Chochopk 13:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I realize that, but the merged image is out of date and should be updated at some point. Daveharr 18:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. Before the image is updated, we can update the caption. --Chochopk 20:09, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Good point. I've changed the caption to read "Sample Canadian Banknotes" rather than "Current". Daveharr 17:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Status of $1000 notes

A claim is made in the article that the $1000 bill is still used by casinos and banks. Can anyone find a reference for this? AFAIK banks are obligated to pull all $1000 bills they receive and have them sent to the Bank of Canada for shredding.Vanillagorillas 20:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
