With the help of Commander Chris Hadfield aboard the ISS , the Bank of Canada yesterday launched its newfangled robot- and cosmonaut - themed five dollar invoice . Hadfield had been keeping the new bill under wrapper for months .
The new polymer $ 5 eyeshade shows theCanadarm2andDextremanipulator robots , along with an equivocal astronaut mean to stand for all Canadians who have contributed to its quad programme .
The new bill , along with a fresh $ 10 note , will enter into circulation this come November , joining the latterly updated $ 20 , $ 50 and $ 100 bank bill . The polymer series is being hail as Canada ’s most unattackable bank preeminence ever , owing to commonwealth - of - the - art security features like holography and transparence .
“ By give prominence to Canadian achievements in place , this Federal Reserve note reminds us that not even the sky is the limit , ” say Hadfield .
Of naturally , as we geek - out over how nerveless this new bill is , a Canadian focussing group complained thatit ’s cartoonish and out - of - step with modern Canada . Most did not recognize Dextre .
The flipside of the card features Canadian Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier .
For those of you with nothing better to do , here ’s the 15 - arcminute long ceremony aboard the International Space Station .
