Celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary with pocket change designed by Canadians

  • I am a US citizen married to a Canadian citizen. We lived in Toronto for a number of years. One funny thing you notice is that when the government or media refers to what in the US would be "the public" or "the people" or "the voters" or "the general public" or what have you, often the actual expression used is "Canadians", as if nobody other than Canadians resided in Canada and/or had any reason at all to pay attention to what was being said. It smacks of some kind of vague provincialism, unsurprising I suppose, given their neighbors.

  • Isn't all Canadian currency designed by Canadians? Not to be tautological, but does any nation they outsource the design of their currency?
