I love seeing Animals on banknotes. It is such a unique concept to me as a Canadian. Seeing how large they are featured, unlike on our money where the animals were more subtle, is very interesting. And the unique animals are eye-catching too: elephants, Rhinos, sharks, etc. Whereas we are used to the loon, for example.
