TORONTO, March 1 (UPI) -- Canadians are drawing on their money to make politicians look like Spock from Star Trek, in honor of recently deceased Leonard Nimoy.

Canadian Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who appears on Canada's five dollar bill, has been the most common face to be turned into Spock.

"This series of Canadian bills was an easy target," CDR's publisher Todd Falkowsky told Quartz. "The existing portraits are quite large and can be improvised with easily, and the color of our $5s are the same blue as Spock's uniform."

Nimoy died in Los Angeles on Friday at the age of 83.
