The Canadian $10 bill is a very common Canadian banknote and it was first printed in 2001. It is mostly the color purple and it has a picture of Sir John A. MacDonald, the coat of arms, and an image of the Library of Parliament on the front of it. On the reverse, there are pictures in relation to peacekeeping and remembrance. There are yellow dots that represent the EURion constellation on both sides and there is also braille dots for blind people to what size bill they’re holding.

There are many security features on this bill. First, there are three shiny maple leaves on the front. Then, there is also a holographic stripe on the left side, which with the maple leaves makes the number 10. There is also a watermark of Macdonald’s picture, and broken-up 10 that fixes itself when backlit. The back has an interleaved metallic strip reading repeatedly “10 CAN”. There is also ultraviolet-detected threads in the paper and an ink imprint of the coat of arms.
