friesman Posted November 15, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2011 It looks like we are going to update the Canadian money yet again. This newest edition is definitely eye catching and looks to be tough on security, I am wondering about it being a plastic polymer and how it feels when spending, lol!

Flyinfool Posted November 15, 2011 Share #4 Posted November 15, 2011 Might have to give them a week or so to figure this one out and get new materials ordered and delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tx2sturgis Posted November 15, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 15, 2011 Plastic money? Hell I've been spending plastic money for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted November 15, 2011 Share #7 Posted November 15, 2011 I hope its not biodegradable. Otherwise, when you bury it in the back yard, so the wife can't get at it, it won't last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted November 16, 2011 Share #11 Posted November 16, 2011 And just how much money is spent making this new money????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted November 16, 2011 Share #12 Posted November 16, 2011 Can the US be far behind? Interesting concept thou. Probably costs more then the paper variety but should last longer so may well be cost effective. I'm with Brad on this as well since I see so few of those 100 bills it wouldn't make a difference to me. :-( Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we call US currency 'paper' money, which would indicate it is made of wood fiber like...paper!...it is in fact made of cloth, a cotton and linen blend, which can survive multiple washings and survive just fine. Many years ago I worked in a printing paper distribution warehouse, and when customers (printers) came in to buy that currency bond 'paper', we made a photocopy of the drivers license and took a facial photo and a picture of their car license plate. The regulations were pretty strict, even 30 years ago, and we practiced CYA. But it was the exact same 'paper' the Federal Reserve used to print sheets of currency. I have no idea if you can buy it these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
