American flag on Canadian 2 dollar bill.

It's actually an old Canadian flag, the "Union Jack". The maple leaf replaced it as part of the 1967 Canadian centennial along with plenty of protest from the staunch British loyalists and traditionalist that just can't let the Monarchy go.

Laugh as you may, as US dollars devalue by the day. I believe the Can buck is just about par now.

It's actually the Red Ensign which is most often mistaken for the Starts & Stripes. Did you not read the link I posted? Typical guy.

95.6¢ as of the market close on this date. We expect parity by years end.

Meh, Britannia rules the currency waves. 1 pound 1 dollar? Noooo. 1 pound TWO dollar? Yeah!

I hadn't realized that the "Ahem" was a link. My mistake. Still, I knew it wasn't an American flag.

The most famous I know is "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!"

How about

Here you go - I haven't checked it for grammatical accuracy, or palindromic veracity, but this is a pretty long palindrome!
