Little story about this bill... Back in 1986 got to visit my grandmother in Washington State, and we went to the World Exposition, that year held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I was excited to be in a foreign country for only the second time in my life. Did get some spending money, which of course was converted into Canadian dollars (to this day I love having foreign currency in my wallet to pay for things with when I can lol). Had a little bit extra left over at the end of the trip, including a Canadian $20 bill like the one above. I just wanted to keep it for my collection, but my grandmother convinced me it was too much money to not spend, and traded me US $20 for it. Always kind of wish I kept it, and well now I have one! The memory transfers over to this bill even if it isn't the specific bill I remember. I know it was definitely this design though (the newer 1980's designs weren't out yet when I was in Canada).
The reverse of that note is fantastic! In my opinion, Canada generally makes much more beautiful currency and coins than the U.S.
