New Canadian $100 bill?

[Mr. Lucky]

MONTREAL - Canada's new plastic, see-through currency feels a lot like the celluloid film you used to load into your old-fashioned camera.

The smooth, stretchy, polymer bills may prove popular with the beach crowd because you can easily tuck the water-proof money into your bathing suit and take it out for a swim.

The Bank of Canada officially put into circulation Monday the first of the new generation of bills — the $100 one. The $50 bill is coming next March, and the rest of the bills will be in circulation by 2013.

Of course Money deposit machines won't recognize them yet but I don't think I like this whole plastic idea!

Paper or Plastic what's the difference ? They're both Fiat currencies. Ultimately destined to go to zero. At least with the paper currency you could burn it to keep you warm once it becomes worthless.....just like the last 3,000 failed fiat currencies throughout history.

Got Gold ?

BS

Sure, I have many many doubloons in my codpiece, but it is difficult finding a merchant willing to trade with me for them.

Sir Robert Laird Borden looks dead sexy on it. Why don't our Prime Ministers have giant over-grown wooly mustaches or beards anymore?

I wondering how these bills will hold up over time. What do they look like after hundreds of folds, washes, swims, getting run over by cars, g-strings and garters have worked on them?

[Mr. Lucky]

I like the cotton notes better, but if merchants all accept the new ones I suppose that is one advantage. The cotton notes not everyone likes to take (SPs and contractors both liked taking them, but good luck at the gas station as of late lol) but since contractors and SPs took the olds ones, who else really mattered - the rest can take a cheque or Visa lol.

At least none of them had the Chin Strap/Chin Curtain beards which were popular in the 1880's
