Canadians got their first look at the slick new plastic bills that will soon line wallets across the country.

    Maybe the BEP could take a lesson from this.
    They can't seem to print the new paper $100 without the sheets folding.
    Time for plastic notes here.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Got quoins?

    Horse trading works best. You can't print 'em from thin air and you can't counterfiet 'em.

    Is the object longer life of the currency?? That is the only benefit I see immediately... there could be anti-counterfeiting properties as well.... any articles on this?? Cheers, RickO

    from the article
    New holographic security areas will be printed on the bills, including one in the shape of a maple leaf. They will also feature raised ink, hidden numbers and metallic images printed on a transparent window.

    You would think they could also imbed some kind of nanotechnology for a barcode, so it could be scanned. Perhaps this would work as a counterfeiting measure.
