You know you’re getting old when remembering using all but one of these $20 notes

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Since 1954, Canadian banknotes have featured various parts of Canada's landscape, wildlife and culture.
In the third part of a series I am working on, I am exploring the items that have appeared on our currency.
Today, it is the $20 bill.

Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories of how Canadians fought for equality.
Today it is the story of the murder of Kenneth Zeller.

Throughout this week, I am taking a nostalgic look at school supplies in Canada.
Today, it is Laurentien coloured pencils/pencil crayons/leads.
This brand existed for decades, but disappeared when an American company bought the brand.
This is the story.
