Money that Almost Was – Bank of Canada – Up to April 2026

What: Money that Almost Was

Where: Bank of Canada Museum, Ottawa, Ontario

When: Through April 2026

Why: Explore an exhibit of proposed bank note designs from 1935 to 1999. When the Bank of Canada creates a new bank note, many designs are proposed—and many rejected. Each contributes to the collage of ideas, images, colours and composition that becomes a new bank note. See more than 25 bank note designs that offer a glimpse into the creative process, the designers’ art and the identity of a nation.
