On June 30, 1987, the $1 Canadian bill faded into history. Well, sort of. The Bank of Canada stopped issuing new bills, which were replaced by the golden coin that quickly was tagged the loonie.
I am a journalist with CBC News in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I'm taller than I look. This blog has been running quietly since 2004.
Thanks for posting this image.
I think that the Queen was at her hottest when she was shown on this now obsolete 1 dollar bill.
The losers at the Canadian mint have no aesthetics whatsoever.
I think we should bring this style of money back into the currency. The current money we have is ugly to look at.

Hot? Not a word I think of with the Queen. Don't forget she was much younger in the portrait for the old $1 bill, too!
