'Star Trek' icon Leonard Nimoy dies at age 83

In summary, Leonard Nimoy was an excellent actor who was a fan favorite for his roles in Star Trek and Mission Impossible. He will be deeply missed.

Actually the $5 bill is probably most profitable. Would you keep a $100 bill as a souvenir? (Well, maybe you would as you paid $250 for an autograph) Most people wouldn't. Maybe $10. But $5, sure, most Trekkie fans are going to keep at least on $5 bill. And all those crazy Trekkies south of the border (US citizens) are going to find a way to buy one as well. Hence Canada will maximize its value by printing a low and affordable denomination over a larger note. (my speculation only).

I have done a little experimenting and I think our U.S. $5 spocks rather well (except for the beard):

Mirror Spock always looked cool. Somehow he can carry off the Lincoln beard too, which is just awesome.
