I'd spend it.

Money

I love the designs, and the Bill of rights on the back, but where's the Second Amendment? Can we reintroduce the $500 bill and use that on the back? Put Alexander Hamilton on the bill for ironic purposes.

I'm holding out for one and two dollar coins. Canada totally corrupted me on this.

Edit The first and second amendments are on the $5. I still think the Second Amendment deserves it's own bill.

While we were in Montreal we were using cash almost exclusively, and never had a problem with excessive Loonies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_1_dollar_coin) and Toonies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_2_dollar_coin). In fact, they seemed to circulate faster than the USDs that live in my wallet simply because they are there and easy to use. The Couche-tard (http://www.couchetard.com/home.html) and its associated Subway in the Montreal underground near our hotel got most of the one and two dollar coins we accumulated.

In fact it was so easy to use the coins we forgot to bring home a Loonie. (One Toonie is sitting on my dresser.)
