Mr. Edison's Ear - Fransisca Duran
Canada in the making - culture and contribution

Canadian money has remained stagnant with images of great men and women who shaped the country politically. What Canadian money lacked is the representation of the common people that build this great country. For this reason we (it was a group project - thanks to Dylan, Andrea and Breannen for their contribution) decided to show the greatness of these Canadians in terms of culture and contribution throughout the history. Each bill has an illustrative obverse side with cultural representation, and the reverse side with their historical contribution towards making of Canada.
