Hi.

Does anybody on the forum have any guess as to which Parliament Building will grace the new $20?

With only two denominations left to complete the Journey series, we obviously only have two Parliament buildings left as well.

See what you think.

Bye 4 now ;),

My guess would be the Peace Tower.

You know, the Peace Tower would be my guess, too, seeing that it is in the centre of the Parliament buildings.

And the $20 note is the very middle denomination of the five current denominations of Canadian banknotes.  :D

Later, J.S. ;)

The Parliament of Canada Photo Gallery

The Peace Tower was originally intended as a monument to the service and sacrifice of Canadians during the First World War. Over the years, it has come to symbolise Canada's general commitment to peace amongst nations.

Given the connection between the Peace Tower and the events of WWI, I would have preferred to see the Peace Tower on the $100-bill, along with Robert Borden, our WWI Prime Minister.  Ah well... they didn't ask me.

I'm actually surprised that the peace tower was not included on the $10 note, the note's theme being peacekeeping and remembrance, after all. ::)

But yes, I'll put my 2ยข on the peace tower on the $20 as well.

Since the theme for the new $20 is Arts and Culture I think that it will be the Library of Parliment that will appear on the new $20.

The Library is already on the $10.  They won't double them up.

I'm pretty sure that one of the remaining notes will have the Centre Block, and the other have the Peace Tower.

Seeing that Marc stated that the Peace Tower may be in the Centre Block, the new $20 may probably feature the Centre Block of Parliament, with the Peace Tower. :-/

If that is the case, what building is left for the new $50? ???
