From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2018 series is the unnamed upcoming banknote series to be issued by the Bank of Canada, following the Frontier Series which was released in 2011.
After the Bank of Canada announced that one of the banknotes in the series would feature a portrait of a woman on the obverse, it received thousands of nominations from the public, ultimately leading to twelve final candidates from the 461 eligible nominations, and a shortlist of five women from which Viola Desmond was selected. Her portrait will appear on the $10 banknote, which was unveiled on International Women's Day in March 2018 and will be the first banknote of the series to be released into circulation in late 2018.
