Except this will only be on $50 and $100 bills. Does anyone even use bills anymore?

 Spoiler

The Conservative government pledged in the 2010 budget to move the country to synthetic bills.
Images on the $100 note recognize breakthroughs in Canadian research including the discovery of insulin and the invention of the pacemaker.

The new $50 note, scheduled to circulate in March 2012, showcases images of the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Amundsen.

Some aspects of the bank notes are expected to remain consistent.

Sir Robert Borden, prime minister of Canada between 1911 and 1920, remains on the $100 note in an updated portrait. Two-time prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King remains on the $50 bill as well.

The much more common $20, $10 and $5 bills are expected to be unveiled and released by the end of 2013.

While their colours will not change, the smaller-denomination notes will have their own unique themes:

The $5 note is dedicated to Canada's space program
The $10 note will depict Canada's railway lines
The $20 note will feature sacrifices made in Canadian conflicts
