I just got this today ... the 2018 Bank Note of Year ...</font></p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1476300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1476301[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>The International Bank Note Society (IBNS) announced that its voting membership has selected the Bank of Canada to receive its prestigious “Bank Note of the Year Award” for 2018. Almost from the start, Canada’s new vertically oriented $10 bill dominated the voting. This was the fifth consecutive polymer containing note to win the coveted IBNS Bank Note of the Year Award.</p><p>When the Bank of Canada announced the release of this note on November 19, 2018, they said they were going in “a new direction.” Polymer replaced paper on Canadian banknotes several years ago but this is the first vertical format note for them. The face of the note features the portrait of social justice icon Viola Desmond while the back depicts the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company in the same distinct purple color as the previous horizontal format $10 polymer note, this note is just fractionally larger than neighboring United States currency bills. Incorporating the latest in technological standards, the bold security features are easy to check and difficult to counterfeit. Canada plans “to issue a new denomination every few years” and the Bank of Canada has confirmed the next four notes in this series will also use the vertical format.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
