I liked the overarching themes of the old bills:

$5 - "The Hockey Sweater"

$10 - Veterans

$20 - The arts

$50 - Gender equality

$100 - Science

Not to forget the 2001 Year of the Volunteers dime

Look great!

im gonna miss the hockey rink and the people playing hockey, with the sayings :(

The Canada Arm is awesome for the 5 and something to be proud of no equestions asked

since the 20 is green, it should just be marijuana plants hahahaha

New bills look cool, but hate handling them. Can't ever count them quickly anymore, they always unknowingly stick together.

^ i count stacks everyday i kno that feel

Not to mention other people lick their fingers to separate the bills, which spreads bacteria.

I agree, the mda is pretty sweet. They should have the BlackBerry =p

The thought of that is just so gross... :heckno:

people did that before anyway. lol

if you thought money was clean before then jokes on you.
i wash my hand after handling cash every time. cash is disgusting

They look really modern and oh so Canadian. Love the science theme of most of them.

Agreed, we might as well be handing used toilet paper to each other... :heckno:

CanadArm2 is pretty cool but that portrait is creepy as fuck, plus I'll miss the sweater quote and ice rink.

If you count by swiping the bills where the transparent strip is then it won't stick. Otherwise I agree it does suck.

As gross as it is, at least the paper would absorb some of the saliva,
keeping it contained.

With these plastic bills, the saliva will just remain there until it wipes off something.

I know it doesn't really make it any cleaner, but damn,
just thinking how a bill gets passed to me by a "licker",
and then I can just see the wet shine on the bill...

:heckno: :heckno: :heckno:

Germs on bills are one of those things that are :heckno: when you stop and think about it, but in reality not a single fuck is given when in use. There is so much else to be worried about in life, aint nobody got time for that.

If you seriously stop and think about all the gross shit you touch on a daily basis, youd never go outside.



Back on topic, I miss the old bills, but the new ones look pretty cool. I havent decided if Im sold on them or not yet. Definitely dont like handling them as much. They don't hold together and fold and crease as well.

count them where the clear stripe is. it's grippier than the printed area

No doubt, menus are another one of those hella dirty things but nobody gives a fuck. Keyboard, mouse, it's endless!

The thing I hate most about the new bills isnt about them sticking.. all you need to do is face'em one way and grab it by the transparent area.

I major rage when people fold or crumple these up.. its almost impossible to make them flat again..

Also as a heads up guys, there have been fake new 100's spotted. Just be aware and check your bills! Don't think just cause its new it aint fake.

I miss the old bills, counting paper ain't the same when they stick together or plastic I should say haha
