Canada Polymer banknotes
The Bank of Canada moved the everyday $5 onto polymer on 7 November 2013: Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the face and Canadarm2, Dextre, and an astronaut on the reverse. This case gathers the pieces of that series documented in the collection.

For now, the Laurier $5 (Pick 106b), serial HBM0828003.
