In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Citizen is rolling out one fact each day for 150 days until July 1, highlighting the odd, the fascinating and the important bits of Ottawa history you might not know about.
The last printed Canadian dollar bill featured a picture of a tugboat called the Missinaibi floating on the Ottawa River in front of the Parliament buildings. The photo was taken in 1963 by famous Ottawa photographer Malak Karsh, and printed on about 3.4 billion dollar bills between 1974 and 1989. In 1996, the boat was officially given to the Canadian Children’s Museum in Gatineau as part of “Waterways,” an area of Adventure World.
The dollar bill was discontinued in 1989, two years after the introduction of the loonie in 1987. Though still considered legal tender, there is no legal obligation for it to be accepted in transactions. It can still be exchanged or deposited at banks at full face value.
