2012 answer: Ronald Reagan (age 69 on election day, 73 when
reelected). 2021 answer: Joe Biden (77 on election day).
4 for everyone -- Joshua, Erland, Dan Tilque, Dan Blum, and Pete.

Prime Minister of the UK. (Still true.) 4 for Joshua.
He was born in New Brunswick when it was still a British colony, and
moved with his family to Britain shortly after Canada was unified as
a dominion, but that's sufficient to reasonably count him as Canadian.
In actual citizenship terms, he was never anything but a British
subject; British citizenship was not distinguished from Canadian
until much later, and from the (remaining) colonies still later.

Production of $2 bills ended when the $2 coin was introduced in 1996.
Production of the remaining Birds of Canada bills ended in 2004-06
when the Canadian Journey bills appeared.
