In 1954, the Bank of Canada issued a new bill with the engraving of Queen Elisabeth II on it.
But then the bank started receiving complaints. People saw the face of the devil in the Queen’s hair, right behind her ear.
Is not convincing , but the bank did . They destroyed all bills and reprinted them with a slightly changed version.

"Is not convincing , but the bank did . They destroyed all bills and reprinted them with a slightly changed version."
This is not true.
To begin, there is no "the bank" involved in the authorization, design, and printing of Canadian money. The 1954 design was never recalled and destroyed.
The Royal Canadian Mint is the government institution responsible for the actual striking (manufacturing) new coins - penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar, 2-dollar, and silver dollar - that are then issued to banks.
Canadian bank notes are printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company and BA International, a subsidiary of Giesecke & Devrient, a German company
The 1954 $5 bank note does have the "devil's face" illusion, but it was never recalled and destroyed. Due to the public attention given to the illusion, the Canadian government instructed printing companies to alter the plates so that the "devil's face" would print with more ink, making the image darker and obscure. These notes remained in circulation until the $5 note was totally redesigned in the 1970s as part of a total redesign of all denominations Canadian bank notes.
The 1954 design was gradually removed from circulation and replaced by the newer redesigned note. As bank customers brought in 1954 designs as part of everyday banking, the bank returned them to the government to be replaced with new bank notes. The banks stopped handing out the old $5 and only issued the new design to customers. It usually takes 2-3 years to phase out old currency.
"is it a canadian Dollar?"
It's a Canadian five dollar bank note that went out of use 40 years ago.
