Don't know about the rest of them (how does anyone really know how long a memory a goldfish has :???: ) but the one about the Canadian two dollar bill having an American flag is incorrect. I had to check this one out at snopes. The two dollar bill had (now we have Toonies) the current Canadian flag. The five and ten dollar bills, both of which have also been accused of having the American flag have the Red Ensign, which was Canada's recognized flag (although it was never really our "official" flag) before our Maple Leaf flag.
 
Darn Dun....either you got rain today or you like giving us some more things to ponder about all afternoon.
I persobnally like the Canadian toonie, good idea and a nice looking coin.
While I'm going on, I like the way the Canucks lable the coffee additives, not creamer, it's coffee lightener...if it aint got cream in it, it isn't called a creamer. Good for them!
