People have apparently been spocking money, that is drawing on money to distort the faces so they appear to be Leonard Nimoys Spock, for years but there was a substantial uptake since the actors death in 2015. At that time the Bank of Canada released a press release asking people to stop spocking the Canadian $5 bill, featuring former prime minister Wilfrid Laurier but the activity hasnt ceased, causing it to resurface in the news again more recently.

Unlike in many countries it is actually not illegal to deface Canadian currency by spocking it but such currency carries the risk of being refused by merchants for fear of being counterfeit.

We haven't had those paper $5 bills in about 5 years.

But it is kind of funny that our new $5 bill features a space and astronaut theme given the old $5 bill kept getting Spock drawn on it.

People should stop defacing currency cause if it has collector value itll almost be ruined with post mint pen markings.

Meanwhile, the coins in Niue can have stuff like Pokemon and Star Wars on them.

If they make the bill with Spock on it already, people won't have to draw him on them...

And if Gene Roddenberry's ghost objects, you can claim it's just a drawing of Leonard Nimoy!

tbh, Spock did far more than any Canadian politician! He saved the galaxy countless times!
