<P> Printing of the $2 note ceased on February 18 , 1996 , with initial release of the toonie , a coin that replaced it . These notes are virtually never seen in circulation today . The most recent banknote series that included the two - dollar note was the Birds of Canada series in 1986 , in which this note was a terra cotta colour . The face featured a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II ; the back featured a meadow scene with two robins . Prior to the withdrawal of the $1 note , the $2 was not as widely circulated and was difficult to find in some regions , Alberta in particular . After the $1 note was withdrawn , the $2 was much more widely circulated . </P>
