I know the polymer Canadian $100 bill came out over a year ago and the polymer Canadian $50 bill came out near the beginning of this year...but...I thought it would be cool for everyone to see what these bills are like. I want one of each! :)

LOL... as an American living in Canada it took a year before it all stopped looking like monopoly money to us. It's all so.... colorful :)

But yes, I DO like them and I DO think they are harder to counterfeit.

I haven't seen them yet. That's what I get for using the debit card.

Maybe I'll take some out and put them back in.

Cool!

The Bank of Canada's image gallery offers still photos of various notes. I was pleased to see that the Queen is on the twenty.

"In 1988, Australia introduced its first polymer bank note and in 1996, Australia became the first country in the world to have a complete series of polymer notes. Polymer note technology was developed by Australia, and Australia prints polymer notes for a number of other countries"

FYI - I didn't even know we invented it. I am impressed.

Its all nice and pretty until you try and put it through a bill counter. The bingo hall I volunteer at doesn't see much of these $50 and $100 bill yet, but I can imagine the frustration that will be caused when the $10 and $20 bills come out.
