I recently realized how odd Canadian money is. It's not the colours, in fact, I quite like that it's coloured because I find it so annoying when I go to the states. You've got a chunk of money and no idea what denomination they are. You have to sift through them and I hate doing that at the till because...I just do. It's awkward.
NO! What makes Canadian money weird is the pictures!
Not the people, I don't know who any of them are except for the Queen but on the back! I mean, the five dollar bill has kids playing hockey on it. WTF is with that? The coins aren't any better! The loonie...well fuck it's called the loonie, and it has a loon on it. And the toonie has polar bears! Eh, polar bears are cool. Oh yea, there's a beaver on the five cent coin, a ship on the ten cent coin (anyone remember those Heritage commercials? The one with the ship, and they win that race or whatever it was that was going on? LOL!) And the quarter is always changing. Olympic shit, or children, or leaves or something. I don't know. It's weird.
Anyway, this has no point to it. I was just...like literally just struck by the oddness of my money. The End. =)
Edit: WHOA! I just realized that ship thing on the 20$ bill, I totally have a picture of that! It's this thing in the Vancouver airport! Cool!
