YES! What was it, loon, owl, kingfisher, ROBIN? But the other side was always someone. Just put the queen on all the other sides or a flag and be done with it. I can't stand the new $10 with some rabble-rouser who doesn't deserve the honor.
I was thinking of the series even before the Birds one, but yeah. And those old bills had the Queen and former Prime Ministers on them, not just some random nobodys.
The Fifty had the circular formation seen in the RCMP Musical Ride. It was very distinctive.
Oh, here's a place with what I was thinking of. Huh, I misremembered the $2 with a picture of courier-du-bois that I now suspect came out of an old school textbook. And I don't think I ever knew what the hell that was on the back of the $10, by the looks of it. But I was just going into Just click on the bill and it'll bring you to a slideshow to see the backs.
And some of the scenes I was thinking of actually came from the series before this one, which were still floating around throughout the 70s. I was born in '68. They changed things just as I was entering the workforce.
Ah ha, thanks for the link! I was asking my Dad about the $50 this afternoon since he collects coins and currency and was curious if he remembered them. I'd swore I saw one before but maybe some weird deja vu. lol, we once had Sarnia on the back of some of our loot. This was fun to look through, thanks!

I don't know if I've seen those before then. Musical ride, sounds cool, I always loved the black and red, be cool to have them on a bill.
