I'm personally sick and tired of her face along with Wilfrid Laurier and a few other.
Let's put a beautiful moose or a bear...a duck....even Pauline Marois will be different !

The coat of arms would serve as a decent replacement for the face of the British monarch. It would also be a good opportunity to redesign the 50-cent coin (and perhaps produce them in large quantities to get them circulating again?).

Considering how ''cost conscious'' the canadian government and the RCM (and the commercial banks) are I think there is and will be no intention to get the 50 Cent coin into actual circulation again. At least, as long as there is the Quarter coin. A 50 Cent coin only makes ''real sense'' when there's a 20 Cent coin in the denomination sequence (as in the Euro zone with 10c, 20c, 50c). |

 It would be nice, ...but... only makes "real sense" (  ) for the Euro type denominations. Also, cash registers don't have space for another coin, never mind the cost and time for handling etc. |

It's not hard to predict where continued annual inflation is leading. Already today anything less than a dollar has virtually no purchasing power. The point of coin gets lost when it's only function is change. Add a zero to 10c, 20c, 50c and think Loonie, Toonie, $5.... It's probable that a $5 coin is looming at some point of time in the future. |

How about the Queen as a moose, or a bear, that'd be fun.

I personally didn't think that the current "uncrowned" portrait needed to be done - I don't really care for it.
I prefer the 1990-2003.5 effigy over the current one.

I agree. If we end up sticking with the Commonwealth, The design should be changed soon. If we do not stay though, the Canadian coat of arms, a bear, beaver, goose or moose should replace the monarch's portrait.

I say we go back to the 53 portrait, or the 1935 $20 bill one :)

Personally for 2017.. I hope they do something that blends the portrait of the 1935 pic of the queen with a current picture of the queen... that would certainly be impressive to me... in my opinion.

I really like the 53-64 portrait the best. I don't really care much for the current portrait.

I'll gladly take anything over the current horrific effigy Canada uses. Ugh. It's just embarrassing, and I refuse to buy any coins bearing it.

It would be great to see another crowned portrait, as it stands out as someone royal. I'm not a fan of uncrowned portraits, especially of the queens father. It is my least favorite portrait on our coins. I'm a fan of the veiled and jubilee portraits of Queen Victoria. A royal portrait should look royal. It would be nice if they'd use one from her youth, so the one from the 2012 5 oz coin. the young portrait on the 2012 $20 4 $20 would also do well.
I'm not looking forward to a king Charles on coins, there's no way of making him look good!
