The high-tech polymer note was unveiled in Ottawa last week after years of cross-country focus groups commissioned by the Bank of Canada.
Meant to evoke “the contributions and sacrifices of Canadian men and women in military conflicts throughout our history,” the new $20 bill features Canada’s National Vimy Memorial, said The Bank.
The monument was erected in Vimy, France in 1936 to honour First World War soldiers.
Unfortunately, most focus group participants were unable to identify the iconic memorial or even knew of its existence according to a report from obtained by CTV News.
“When you quickly glance at it, and if I didn’t know any better, it looks like the Twin Towers,” said one participant in the report, which was produced by market research firm The Strategic Council in Toronto. (CTV News)
