Looks like Sir Wilf got a haircut.
And the railway on Sir John A's $10 is fitting.

I will miss the hockey game $5 note... but I do LOVE the $10 train note, with the Front Range Rocky mountains in the background...

Completely agree SPP. The ten looks great but I prefer the 'old' five too.
I like the nose of the train positioned opposite the equally predominant nose of Sir JAM.

I don't like the faces on them. They look like a bad Photoshop job. But the images look great. I definitely want one in mint condition.

I've always been pretty into astronomy and the space sciences so I love the new $5... but all the stars are just the same image repeated... I can't unsee that now...
And the train note's spectacular. I might actually have to buy a nice set of polymers one day.

They look better than I thought they would. Laurier looks soooo much different.
The stars: They could've been more accurate with the stars, for sure. There are 10^10000000000000 more stars than that out there. Or more. They look alright. Although, when criminals finally get the polymer down these two notes will be super-easy to copy compared to the fifty. Lots of dead space.

LOVE the new $10 note. The $5 is decent, I like how deep the colors are. I will try very hard to get my hands on some UNC $10 notes once they are released, they look incredible!! haha love it

The train on the 10$ is Usually seen in Jasper, Alberta where the scene on the bill appears to be a bit easterly of Jasper
The cool thing is I've seen this train many times before stopped at the train station :)

I like how deep the colors are. I do as well, but usually the colours of the actual notes in production are a little more subdued or faded than the specimen pictures on the website. |

The $5 is nice but I really love the $10. And no matter what happens with these there always seems to be people who complain about them. I have lost count of all of the crazy stuff I have seen in the news about them. (Melting in the heat, the maple leaf "isn't the right one"...etc)

The ten is super nice, but my goodness Lauier looks awful on the five!

I think Laurier looks good in blue! Did he found the Canadian space agency? lol
Sir John A has a Bieber-ish haircut, very fitting having a train with him though
Overall new bills look better than expected!

Personally, I love everything about the series. I think they are the nicest notes we released since the 1954 series.
I currently rank them as follows:
$50: 10/10
$100: 8/10
$20: 9/10
$10: 10/10
$5: 9/10

Here are a couple of actual Laurier pics - The first is more like the classic portrait we are used to seeing; the second is more like the polymer five with his hair a little more under control!   |
