Canada Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Canada is fascinating and reflects the evolution of the country over the years. From its earliest banknotes to today's modern and secure designs, Canadian currency has undergone numerous changes that reflect the nation's identity and values.
Current banknotes in circulation
Current Canadian banknotes belong to the Polymer series, introduced between 2011 and 2013. This series includes denominations of $5, $10, $10, $20, $50 and $100, each with a unique design and advanced security features. The bills feature iconic images of Canadian history and culture, such as the Canadarm2 on the $5 bill and the Canadian transcontinental train on the $10 note.
Vintage banknotes and milestones in Canadian notemaking
The first Canadian banknotes were issued in 1935 by the newly established Bank of Canada. Over the years, several notable series have been produced, such as the Scenes of Canada series (1969-1979) and the Birds of Canada series (1986-1991). An important milestone in Canadian notafilia was the introduction of the $1 bill in 1935, which was replaced by a coin in 1987. Another significant moment was the issuance of the first polymer bill in 2011, ushering in a new era in the production of more durable and secure banknotes.
