I like it very much but I have always liked the red colored $50 so I'm not choosing a favorite yet.
I like front more than the reverse and I think they got the color perfectly.

Hi everyone,

I like what I see on the new twenty.  The portrait is very well done (as are all in this series) and lifelike.  It is nice to see a cool green note for a change.  Kind of like the 1969 20's vibrant green colour.  I also like the art on the back and it's nice to see Native culture highlighted on a banknote. However, the $100 and now the $20 are rather sparse in design on the reverse compared to the $5 and $10.  

I wonder what the inscription below the portrait reads?  "H.M. QEII...  It seems that people need reminders of our history these days (like names and dates of prime ministers and titles.)  There was a time that people knew this stuff by heart    Oh well, enough ranting...well done BoC!!

Cheers,
Dean.  

I really enjoy Heida (sp?) art! And that really makes the note for me!

Can't wait to get a few when released.  

Anyone notice that the Jenkins/Dodge 5 and 10's are in circulation?

The jenkins/dodge 5's and 10's have been out since may and the jenkins/dodge 100 since march. Check the high low listings.

Nice note I like the  darker green ,But I think it just doesn't equal the fiver.

Reading the Globe & Mail's report on the new twenty I came across the following line regarding the features of the new note:

Tactile features: Raised dots in the top right corner, a non-security feature, allows the fision impaired to distinguish denominations.

Couldn't help but laugh.  I'm not sure if being fision-impaired means that I do or don't blow up!

Maybe the Bank of Canada can help with this.

Hi JoeF,

I guess you were referring to the Globe and Mail's website article on the new $20 note.  The real article in the newsprint form is correct.  

Actually, there were many typing errors on the electronic version.    My guess is that they got some inexperienced summer student typers typists (thanks Lamb  ) and illiterate proof readers to fill-in for the full timers on holidays.  

Me too, illiterate.
