Canadian bank notes and coins still have the Queen on them
, which imho i dont agree with...seems like we got our independance from you lot but left the Queen as head of state as a constitutional monarchy.
I hope the new note gets abit smaller as I couldnt fit the old one in my wallet
p/s: no, Im not getting a new wallet so dont try to tell me that
/OFF TOPIC: our notes look way better , here is an example

I love the Vietnamese notes
Still got a few 50,000s around somewhere, though never had a 500k, looks pretty. Ahh the times spent staring at a light through the little plastic windowy bit to see the glowing V and N...All good notes should have little tricks like that.
Re the new 20 pound one...Really not fussed
I move between Scotland and Austria and tend to skip out England in the middle, not a massive fan of the design though. Do wish the Scots would standardise some of their notes, I swear cashpoints still give me randomly coloured 20s to confuse me..trojan698 said:
"I support two teams, Scotland and whoever is playing England" How many times have you heard that? It isn't the support of your own team or even the lack of support of England it is more the support of England's opposition that gets people's goat.
The rise in anti-scottish feeling could also be in reaction to Scots Nationalism. Especially with the current ludicrous situation where Scottish MPs are able to vote on matters that solely impact England but England has no say in matters that impact Scotland.

He does actually make a good person to go on any banknote regardless of nationality.

Putting aside the fact that as an MP he cannot fully represent his constituency as a lot of aspects of Scottish life are now controlled by the Scottish Parliament? Well the fact that he is a Scot doesn't make him unfit to be PM but quite a few would say he isn't fit to be PM!
It's not just that, it's the little things that annoy the Scottish, such as the BBC. When was the last thing that covered anything Scottish bar 'Coast'?
It was only a few weeks ago a BBC Weatherman commented on all the weather in England, then said it would be raining and snowing "Up there in Nowheresville".
Thats just out of order and unacceptable, Scotland isn't a town or city nor should it be insulted by one idiot trying to be funny... It's an entire country, why should places like London, Nottingham, Manchester etc.. get more weather coverage than Scotland?
