Canada Bank Cock-up
The Bank of Canada is so proud of its new polymer bank notes that it has produced a YouTube video to promote them (below). Do banks really need to promote bank notes? We all need them. Shown is the new $20 Banknote (2012) featuring a grim-faced monarch. Cash dispensing machines don't like the new polymer notes. Prudes don't like the bare-breasted women atop the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on the obverse. "It's porn", they scream. Worst of all, botanists say the maple leaf depicted on the new notes isn't a Canadian sugar maple leaf - Canada's national symbol -, but a leaf from the Norway maple (CLICK)!
