Bank of Canada Unveils New $20 Note Design

By Allison Jones | May 16, 2012

Ottawa, Ontario –

Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty and Governor Mark Carney today unveiled the new and more secure $20 polymer bank note at the Bank of Canada’s head office, on Wellington Street in Ottawa. To raise public awareness about the new note, the building’s north-east corner now features seven-storey high images of both sides of the polymer $20.

As with the previously issued $50 and $100 polymer bank notes, the main reason for issuing a new $20 is to stay ahead of counterfeiting threats.  The new polymer notes are also more economical and have a smaller environmental footprint.

“The Bank’s goal is to maintain Canadians’ confidence in our money as a secure means of payment,” said Governor Carney after the unveiling ceremony. “This new $20 note fits the bill.”

The front of the polymer $20 features a new portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II, who is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee this year. The back of the

CD Rates Are Terrible, But Who Cares?

By Allison Jones | Apr 02, 2012

 

CD rates keep getting lower and lower, and not to be a harbinger of bad news, but I think they could still go lower. The longer the Fed keeps rates suppressed, the closer they will get to 0% and the flatter the yield curve will become. But does it matter? Yes and no.

In my recent article, Zombie CD Rates, I caution against becoming complacent and throwing your hands up over low interest rates. On the other hand, CDs as an investment aren’t designed to make you rich — they are designed to preserve capital.

Benefits of a Certificate of Deposit: More than Rates

The benefits of a certificate of deposit are government backed insurance, for one. If the FDIC insured bank or NCUA insured credit union fails, you get your principal and interest back (assuming you are under the insurance limits). If t
