The money saved in making the coin would then fund the Canadian Olympic team . Canadians resoundingly rejected and ridiculed the idea of a five - dollar coin . Some pointed out the note's most recent redesign took place only four years prior, while many others were averse to the idea of carrying yet another coin in their wallets and pockets . Due to the overwhelmingly negative response, plans for the five - dollar coin were discarded . Instead, on 15 November 2006, the Bank of Canada released an updated version of the five - dollar note (issue of 2006) with updated security features, including a holographic stripe found in the rest of the series, and a watermark of Laurier that appears when held to the light . These features replaced the iridescent maple leaves that were in the issue of 2002 . </P> <P> For years, Canadians have been known to deface certain editions of the five - dollar note by using ink pens to alter Laurier's features to resemble Spock, the Star Trek character portrayed by Leonard Nimoy . In 2002, the Bank of Canada officially objected to "any mutilation or defacement of banknotes", which could shorten the lifespan of the currency . When "Spocking" surged in 2015 following Nimoy's death, the Bank reminded people that, while the practice is not illegal and the notes remain legal tender and "a symbol of our country and a source of national pride", defacing the bill could damage its security features and lead retailers to refuse them . The 2013 issue of the note features an image of Laurier with less resemblance to Spock . </P>
