Talk:Canadian one-hundred-dollar note

Deleted images
For some reason all individual images of the obverses and reverses of the 2001 series Canadian bills have been deleted (except for the $5 bill). Does anyone know why this has happened, or how to get them back? --thirty-seven 21:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The world of Wikipedia image uploading is more confusing than an M. C. Escher woodcut, with copyright rules more tangled than a kite in the pines. I gave up long ago trying to understand Wikipedia's absurd image policies. It's also why I take interest in other Wikis, ones that don't really care about image copyrights.

 * I'm sure it has to do more with the Criminal Code than with federal copyright law. According to my Canadian Press Stylebook (the bible for Canadian reporters), the Criminal Code prohibits the publication of any Canadian banknote or a recognizable portion of one. This does not apply if either, the length and width is less than three-quarters or greater than 1.5 times the length or width of a real one, if the likeness is in black and white only, or features just one side of the banknote. As well, the Bank of Canada may provide a replica of a banknote and agree to waive prosecution, usually to promote a newly issued note. These images may be transmitted. In sum, I'm sure the reason behind this law is to keep anyone from even thinking that a print-off of an image is real. I hope this helps. Scott--75.156.147.64 (talk) 00:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Recent controversy / Depiction on back

Also the wikipedia article says the back depicts the discovery of insulin, but there are three distinct images shown. What appears to be an electrocardiogram, a woman using a modern light microscope, and an insulin container. None of those are related to the discovery of insulin. The back, as indicated by the text "medical innovation" is just showing several not necessarily specific, examples of Canadian medical innovation.

 * That's right, and it's a consequence of an ill thought-out "push" to get girls more interested in STEM fields. It's ahistorical.  Banting and Best had no female graduate students or lab-assistants in the 1920s.  None.  So what is the woman doing on the back of the bill with a 90s-era electron microscope?  Is she sorting out insulin molecules by size and colour? The electron microscope -- and the woman lab technician -- should be removed. 174.119.113.31 (talk) 01:26, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
