I wouldn’t want to confess to high treason. Gets uncomfortable. 
Prince Phillip did it, and it worked out OK for him.
That’s definitely an “Ouch!” Almost worth a slap with a dead trout, but for filial piety.
Devil face?
I thought Jefferson was on the $2 bill. 
In the day she was quite cute.
An unfortunate trick of the light from the original photo that was copied into the banknote portrait. About half way down this page. Once the God - fearing Canucks noticed, a new edition was minted and the briefly circulated “Devil’s Face” bills became more highly sought.
Interesting - never heard of that! Thanks.
That’s only in the alternate history covered by Turtledove in Guns of the North, where Jefferson remained loyal to George III.
He leads a large group of Loyalists north where they establish New Virginia on the northern shores of Lake Ontario.
Rallying the New Virginians and Quebeckers, Jefferson defeats the invading Americans. King George appoints him Governor General of British North America.
As the Founding Father of BNA, Jefferson today is commemorated on the currency issued by the Bank of BNA.
Then again, in your case, perhaps no more often than we update ours, if she keeps on keeping on the way she has been. QEII is now the longest ever reigning monarch you’ve ever had, isn’t she?
I have a 1960 edition of the World Book Encyclopedia. Well, except for the “L” volume which has been missing since about 1961 and for all I know has been sitting atop a steeply gabled roof in Oslo, Norway for the past fifty-seven years. Anyway, I mention this because the WBE was clearly targeted towards Canadians as well as Americans, and accordingly there is a full page color photo of Elizabeth II in her coronation regalia accompanying the article about her. And she was indeed quite good looking, almost as if she were cast for the role in a film.
In case anyone wonders, I didn’t lose the “L” book. I was three in 1961.
I had always liked the dramatic corner-on view of the Treasury building, including the cars, on the back of the old $10 bills. I was sorry to see that go.
How did he commit treason? Do you mean against Greece and Denmark by the fact that he renounced the associated titles?
Doctor Jackson appears to be speculating about pre-marital royal nookie:
A knockout or a shape shifting reptilian? I’m not seeing the knockout.
Now Princess Dianna, there’s a knockout.
Thanks, NP, that’s it exactly! I was tagging on to the exchange below:
A consequence of the US having such uniform currency is that the only real collector’s marketis for “error bills” - those that were misprinted in some way -, bills that are very old (like ~100 years) or those with an unusual serial number. Otherwise, the collector market here is coins.
Right, sorry. I hadn’t been following the thread closely enough.
Not only that, but it would add a strangely surreal aspect to my post #15.
Sure, but we’ve updated regularly, and the portrait of Her Majesty has changed each time to reflect her age.
1954 Series: Canadian Landscapes
1969 Series: Scenes of Canada (last $1 note to be issued)
1986 Series: Birds of Canada (last $2 note to be issued)
And at a recent coin/stamp/notes show, I got a really nice George VI $1 from the 1937 series. Still feels a little bit crisp and no obvious fold marks; very bright green.
I felt like a cheapskate paying with two twenties and getting change back, when I saw other people paying for their purchases by peeling off several fifties or several hundreds. :eek:
There is obviously a lot of money in old money!
Ah, I miss the old two dollar bills. The toonie just weighs heavily in the pockets. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one in the wild. But I did see a Sony Discman the other day.
