The American Flag on the 2 or 10 dollar bill
In fact, it is the old Canadian two dollar and ten dollar bills (1989 "Bird" Series) that people think has the American Flag in it. (For more information about Canadian Money, go to the Canadian Paper Money web site.)
The two dollar bill is simply the Canadian flag, and is a false alarm. But, if you have a copy of the ten dollar bill and look very closely at the flag over the Parlimant Buildings you will see a patch in the upper left hand side, and this, combined with the pattern on the rest of the flag, looks like the American flag.
The flag is, in fact, the Canadian Ensign, the patch in the upper left is the Union Jack, and the stripe effect is caused by shading and scaling. If you look carefully, you can see a crest in the bottom right of the flag. (For more information about this myth, including close ups of the flags, go to this page on the Canadian Paper Money website, Canadian Money and for info on the Canadian flags, visit the Government of Canada's National Flag page.)
