Better yet, do what Hong Kong does.  Outsource the whole note printing operation to private banks.  They bear all the costs, and get free advertisement.  They can put their stuff on the money.

This kind of parsimony leads to 1-ply toilet paper in public buildings. No thanks.

We're getting some real rearded choices on our new bills. Random opera singers and movie directors and shit. Heaven forbid you put a giant like Anders Chydenius on a bill! :rolleyes:

See Canadians have no problem finding important female figure that truly contributed to Canada's history to put on their money.  And by 2020, that requirement about living person might not be a problem.

What exactly did Elizabeth II contribute to Canada's history?

NO Ingmar Bergman on a Swedish banknote?! Absolutely appalling!

She has been the head of state for over sixty years. :contract:

So nothing at all really.

A woman who campaigned to get Jane Austen on British banknotes received 50 rape and death threats a day over social media. Feminism still has a long way to go.

I've made my peace with a woman being on paper money at some point.  The irony of removing Hamilton is pretty galling, though.  And if they move forward with that Harriet Tubman proposal I swear that will give kids nightmares.  Don't get me wrong, she was an awesome lady and deserving of the recognition but Lord she had a face for radio.

Only 50? Social media is horrible.

And Feminism will never make people non-shitty. Hobbes was right.

I wholeheartedly recommend putting Liz II on American currency. :menace:
