Default Whoops! Canada bank can't ID their native maple
Sort of OT here but amusing to me as a maple collector!

The new CA$20 has a picture of a Norway maple, not a native Sugar maple
on the face. In most of Canada the Norway maple (A. platanoides ssp) is
considered an invasive pest.

At least they got the Queen right!
