    Special Code Unlocks Secret On The Bank Of Canada's New $10 Bill Website

    • Special Code Unlocks Secret On The Bank Of Canada's New $10 Bill Website
    OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada has placed an Easter egg on its website promoting the new $10 bill.
     
     
    If visitors to the website enter the right series of keys, it plays the national anthem and fills the screen with a shower of tiny animated banknotes.
     
    The central bank unveiled the design for the new $10 bank note last week to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
     
    The key sequence to unlock the secret is known as the Konami code because it was first included in a video game by the Japanese company of the same name in 1986.
     
    The cheat code has since been used in dozens of other games.
     
    The code is: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a.
     
    "The Bank of Canada's web team thought the Konami code was a fun way to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation," Bank of Canada spokeswoman Josianne Menard said.
