The New Plastic $100 Canadian Bill
The polymer-based Canadian $100 bill was just released in mid-November 2011. It is supposedly more durable and counterfeit-proof with the holographic elements and security features. There are two transparent windows on the bill: one that extends from top to bottom (slightly off the middle) with holographic images and the other with the shape of a maple leaf just above the number 100.
I thought it was pretty neat. It reminds me of the same material of the new birth certificates I registered my little one for. I think the plastic bills feels thinner and lighter than the paper bills.
Here's a plastic $100 bill I am holding.

ReplyDeleteMy MIL gave us a couple for Christmas. I thought they were very cool, and they spend easy. lol!
ReplyDeleteI think they're very cool
ReplyDeleteMy dad was just telling me about this the other day! I really want to see one up close. I think would be really cool but also a bit odd as I'm used to "regular" bills.
ReplyDeleteI must be behind on the times, I've never heard of this new bill before now! It looks interesting, I'll be interested in holding one to see how it feels.
ReplyDeleteI typically hate when I have a $100 or $50 bill because I get nervous about which places will accept them and which won't -- though I know, many more places probably DO accept them than I think in my head, haha.
Love these bills. So cool! Has a weird feeling to it. A different look as well.

ReplyDeleteAustralia has had it for years already.
