The fact is that Canada no longer has a two dollar bill,(they are being taken out of circulation as they go through the system), instead they use a two dollar coin now. On the old two dollar bill, and most of the bills that show a picture of the Parliament buildings, the flag is not an American one. The picture of the Parliament building that is used, predates the introduction of Canada's current official flag. Our previous flag was called the "Red Ensign" and in the upper corner of it was the "Union Jack". With a picture as small as the one used on the two dollar bill the isolated square in the corner, was always mistaken for the stars on the "Stars and Stripes" of the American flag. Attached is a picture of the previous official flag, the Red Ensign, based on the British Colonial flag. And that my friend is the straight goods... by Doug B.
