Canada’s new plastic $5 and $10 bills got a stellar welcome Tuesday — literally.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield joined Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney via a satellite video link from space to help unveil the latest and last of the country’s new polymer bills.

The bill’s themes centre on frontiers: The $10 bill features an image of a train, while the $5 bill shows the Canadarm floating in space above the earth (hence Hadfield’s participation).5 dollar chris hadfield

“The innovative nature of the polymer notes is echoed in the theme of the series — frontiers — because, in so many ways, these notes break new ground,” Carney said.

Check out these images of the new bills that will soon be coming to your purse or wallet:

What do you think of the new polymer bills? At least you don’t have to worry about damaging them in the washing machine!  (Quick question…how did Cmdr. Hadfield get one in space? Did he already have it with him? Does Canada Post deliver there? )
