The buffalo news was reporting that the Canadian government asked people to stop turning the guy on the five dollar bill into Spock. They color black hair on him and draw ears with a sharpie. Dang if the results don't look like Spock.

That is awesome Joe. The anchor lady on channel two news was giggling so hard she could hardly report on it.   Love it

The report reads although the note is still legal tender a general request is sent out to stop spocking the five dollar notes Lol

On a more serious note, there's a movement to remove Andrew Jackson from his place of honor on the $20 bill. A group called Women on 20s wants to put a woman in place of Jackson on the $20 bill. I think I'd choose Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman, or both. Since the $20 is the main thing that comes out of ATMs, it has become the Coin of the Realm. It would be a good way to remind the U.S. of its Original Sin, discrimination against women, races, and anything else they could discriminate against.

"Using a pen or pencil to illegally, but hilariously, alter the picture of the former prime minister is about to become nearly impossible in November when the Bank of Canada puts the new polymer $5 into circulation. Not only will it be more difficult to use a pen or pencil on the plastic money, but the new image of Laurier really doesn't look very much like Spock or Snape."

I think this really ought to be a FOLKLORE thread, but what are the chances?

Anyhoo (see what I did there?) in the the UK, the queen on a tenner is easily turned into Amy:
