Before we changed from paper bills to plastic bills, the Bank of Canada had to beg Canadians to stop "Spocking" our $5 bills.
Good times.
@MeanwhileinCanada OH MAN NOSTALGIA WAVES - that was sooo much fun
@MeanwhileinCanada I mean those are really really good
plastic bills
Oh lord, the waste...
@MeanwhileinCanada non-spockable tokens have not future
@MeanwhileinCanada In the US they also have plenty of those..

@[email protected] I want a *"#spocked"* $5 CAD bill!

Infosec.Space
@MeanwhileinCanada Definitely guilty of this back in highschool
@MeanwhileinCanada While on the subject of numismatic vandalism does anybody remember pulling the silver thread out of paper money? There was a technique using your canine tooth to grab it 😬
@MeanwhileinCanada LOL. I'm jealous. I want one. THIS is too cool 🤣
@MeanwhileinCanada Thanks for sharing this little tidbit! I am actually laughing out loud!

@MeanwhileinCanada Wait, what?

*Falls Over Laughing*

@MeanwhileinCanada was nimoy canadian too?
@chicating @MeanwhileinCanada No, he was born in Boston, Massachusetts. So he was a US citizen.

@MeanwhileinCanada Oh, just wondered if it were more than a resemblance thing.

@MeanwhileinCanada Spock dollars, house hippos, proof Canadians have a subtle sense of humor.

In case anyone does not know what a house hippo is.

Whynhell didn't they take a page from the US Mint & just issue those officially & charge extra for them? Serious lack of planning on their part....

@MeanwhileinCanada Five or six years ago, there was a cover band called "Spockin' the Fiver". 😄
@MeanwhileinCanada Then just print the bills with Spock on them. Problem solved. 🖖🏻😁
@MeanwhileinCanada
They should've just gone with the flow and issue the Spock Dollar officialy :) Resisting it is illogical.
@MeanwhileinCanada To quote Spock "fascinating" :-) Never knew this but it is/was brilliantly creative :-)
@MeanwhileinCanada vivre longtemps et prospérer, eh
@MeanwhileinCanada
Seems like they wanted more Spock on their money, because that's how you get more Spock not less.
@MeanwhileinCanada @Peperlito the Rogue version isn’t bad either
@MeanwhileinCanada
What did the unmolested originals look like?

@MeanwhileinCanada but they look so much nicer after spocking!

I wish we had spockable bills in Germany!

@MeanwhileinCanada just want to toot this one again, makes me crack up 🤣
