The bank of Canada today announced what the new $100 plastic bill will look like.

The bills will be phased in from now and until 2013.

"Frers explains 'frontiers' is the theme of the new currency. "The new $100 bill celebrates notable Canadian contributions to medicine [and by] pioneering the use of insulin to treat diabetes and genetic research."

The $5 bill will highlight Canadian contributions to space travel.

Starting in November 2011, the $100 bill will be available and the $50 note will be rolled out in March of 2012. The $5, $10, and $20 notes will be unveiled and issued by the end of 2013."

Before I read that line about insulin, I thought that was a Stanley Cup next to the "100".

The windows and the associated security features are pretty cool .

[Manic!]

Awesome. Those are some good looking bills.

[Simplex123]

Looks pretty nice, it has the same transparent "window" as the HK $10 bill.

[Jsunu]

Im looking forward to the durability of theses new bills :fullofwin:

[Meowjin]

it's the same as the new birth certificates.

[TheNewGirl]

They've been using these in Australia for a while. I saw a thing on them a year ago when they decided to switch over. I'm glad to see it's finally happening.

If you put your money through the wash now... it won't be destroyed. Also iirc these are some what bacteria resistant. Which will be a blessing for people who handle cash all day.

[Qmx323]

Nice, no more accidentally ripping bills and ruining them by washing them LOL

+1 on the accidental rippings. Haha

Looks pretty sweet!

[muteki]

Pretty ~ !

[Mr.HappySilp]

Nice, no more accidentally ripping bills and ruining them by washing them LOL

I know! I usually just tape them together and go to the banks and exchange new ones after I collect a hand full of them.

[hotjoint]

looks nice

[JSilver]

Awesome.

waterproof... nice

[TOS'd]

Use as toilet paper, rinse off after.

[vitaminG]

great, now bring back the $1 bill!

[FerrariEnzo]

Australian and New Zealand currency are exactly like these... feels really smooth...

[ilvtofu]

HK $10 is like this too, damn they look sharp :)

LOL The hidden numbers at 2:10 in the video are so badass

[Harvey Specter]

Very cool.

[twitchyzero]

maybe these will be harder to replicate...fucking counterfeit douches

[Iceman_2K]

Definitely a lot harder to duplicate or create fakes. A single piece of plastic is harder to create than printing something onto a type of paper.

[Durrann]

gonna keep some bills for souvenirs

[Ronin]

Wow...I thought our money was already pretty good looking but these are gorgeous...except maybe the realistic portrait. A more stylized one similar to what's on our bills now might look better.

But damn...how can Americans stand to just have green?

[Expresso]

These new ones may be harder to produce, but unless they phase out the old paper bills counterfeits will still be circulating out there.

[CorneringArtist]

No more of this happening when you excite a kid with a hundred... Have images of the 5/10/20 been released yet?

wonder how they will feel while using like when counting money.

[xyz123]

Wow, The hidden numbers in the maple leaf looks so cool. can't wait for these to come out!

hate american bills, 1,5,20,50,100 all looked the same to me when its in wallet..

i have to pull out my stack of bills thinking im so balling only find i only got 60 bucks

[Watercloset]

I actually like these new bills. Reminds me of the bill in Hong Kong. They also don't get dirty as hell like the normal bills.

[shenmecar]

I like this a lot! Can't wait to see these in real life

[CorneringArtist]

i have to pull out my stack of bills thinking im so balling only find i only got 60 bucks


IMO, having a fat stack of bills after getting a ton of paper change from the states is a http://29.media.tumblr.com/avatar_986e1d4a49a2_128.png moment for me.

[JesseBlue]

I've seen a similar looking bill long ago in Brunei...probably like 15 years ago....I don't think that there are any counterfeiters there at all but they still had it

[winson604]

Agreed and is it just me or do American bills generally get so fucking beat up and feel even shittier compared to our paper bills. The only thing I like about American bills is the $1 bill. I freaking hate change.

[slammer111]

Feels like only yesterday that the current generation of bills came out. Damn..

Australia and Vietnam had polymer bills for many years now, but the "single point light source" feature is definitely new. I'm just wondering if we will make these bills ourselves though. Some countries actually outsource their currency. :eek:

The Bank of Canada produces currency for several countries. I would be very surprised if we were forced to outsource our currency.

[SpartanAir]

The other thing is when you pull out a wad of american $1 bills, at first glance you look like a baller, until someone notices you have like $13. :troll:

That's what they always do. Whens the last time you have got one of these.

Mexico has a plastic note too.

[SpicyToFu]

Definitely looks cooler. Also it doesn't look like it will easily stay folded from the sound of it.

Anything made by men will inevitably be copied by other men, its just a matter of time. At least now, a suitcase of freshly printed "old" bills will stand out more than ever.

[rexsomnii]

felt so rich when i was in vietnam holding a stack of 500,000 thousand dong bills.

converted 500 bucks worth. so i got like 10 mill :D

the picture doesnt do justice though. just to show vietnam has this too.

[StylinRed]

and the counterfeiting has begun (what with that informative video) ;)

[drunkrussian]

how well do these fold (in a wallet and such)

[Alatar]

I'm looking forward to these. As for USD, I really have to make sure I'm counting out the proper bills every time. I've made the mistake once of leaving a $20 tip instead of a $5 tip.

[slammer111]

lol nice.......nothing is impossible to counterfeit...it will soon be copied lol by people.......lol..but it looks way more better....

its not like its hard to see how fake the fake bills are...

[Shorn]

thats cause you've never noticed the ones that were faked so well you couldn't tell.. :troll:

[LW]

Wow, I don't think the counterfeiters will be able to come even close to making a passable duplicate. In my experience they never truly got a grasp on the current generations hologram strip.

[Anjew]

lol nice.......nothing is impossible to counterfeit...it will soon be copied lol by people.......lol..but it looks way more better....

wtf?

[AzNightmare]

I can't wait for these new bills. They look so nice.
Will they still reveal extra things under UV light?

I hate dealing with American bills.
I'm always so paranoid about handing out the wrong bills.
I always take extra long to stare at my bills before paying for something just to make sure.

lol nice.......nothing is impossible to counterfeit...it will soon be copied lol by people.......lol..but it looks way more better....

While it's true nothing is impossible to counterfeit... this will be pretty damn hard.
It's not easy for counterfeiters to simply just get the resources (or the ability) to reproduce money, especially these new ones.

[Vansterdam]

waterproof+ cant rip = WIN

[slammer111]

Wow, I don't think the counterfeiters will be able to come even close to making a passable duplicate. In my experience they never truly got a grasp on the current generations hologram strip.It's almost impossible to make a bill that's opaque and transparent on the same sheet with such precision. You would need some pretty specialized equipment. Gone are the days when you could used a colour photocopier or inkjet. :lol (no, I never did this, but some douchebags at my highschool did).

[Tapioca]

Didn't know that. Can you list which ones?

http://www.coinscan.com/for/foreign.html

[Gridlock]

When I was in thailand, I *think* it was the 2 baht coin had the silver rim around a gold center thing. A quick search reveals that it was in fact the canadian mint that made them.

They're like thainies...thoonies?

You had a handful of dongs........:haha::haha::haha::haha:

Coins are make in Canada by the Canadian mint but the bills are controlled by the bank of Canada and the printing is out sourced.

From the plastic bills I have used previously, they fold in the wallet pretty much like paper bills.

New Canadian $20 polymer bill unveiled by Bank of Canada | News | Financial Post (http://business.financialpost.com/2012/05/02/bank-of-canada-unveils-new-20-bill/)

New $20 bill!

[pastarocket]

I find that the $50 and $100 plastic bills stick to each other regularly because of static electricity. -got a good laugh from watching a cashier swearing in Cantonese because some new plastic bills kept sticking together.

[Teriyaki]

Hate how these count. Counting them all day at work compounds that.

Great (for now), that they can't be counterfeited easily yet so that makes selling/buying privately a lot safer.

They don't stick together because of static electricity... they stick together because one of the anti-counterfeiting measures are several raised plastic bumps and when those are against another bill, they tend to "grab" the other bill which causes it to slide with the first bill.

Time to let go of the past and start putting people who done accomplished things for Canada.


Writers, Philosphers or anything that pushes Canadian Culture.

Granted I think that's what the quarter is for...

[Hondaracer]

$20 Queen > $20 David Suzuki

She's on coins, and on 20's. The other notes are all ex-prime ministers, who were all pretty important people in Canada's history. Probably more relevant than any writer or philosopher.

[A$AProcky]

we should put Drake & Justin Bieber on our bills

[Meowjin]

^we have wayne gretzky coins, so I don't see why not? Justin bieber is the most popular artists of our decade. Seriously.

[CP.AR]

we should just put abstract art all over our money...

[highfive]

Fuck Justin Beiber, I rather put Paulina Gretkzy on it instead.

[twitchyzero]

sarcasm..how do i make sense of it

[elwell]

i dont mind having drake on our coin but justin bieber on the other hand -.-

[StylinRed]

we should have one of Chretien choking that guy out on one side of the bill and on the other of him getting the pie in the face

and we should make a new bill that looks exactly like a US Dollar bill with Harpers face on it


;)

[DanHibiki]

RS COINS

[Pooface55]

Would like to see Terry Fox on one.

[Gridlock]

wait...picture the sample dialogue:

"Hey man, can you spare a biebs so I can get some lunch?"

"Your total comes to 19 biebers and a drake"

Oh, we'd be the laughing stock of the financial world. Moreso than naming our coins "the loonie"

[spyker]

Fuck Justin Beiber, I rather put Paulina Gretkzy on it instead.

I would much rather have a young Pamela Anderson on the face of a greenback instead.

I just drunkenly gave the waitress $100 instead of $50.

Be careful, guys. I almost did the same thing at the bar, had 2 $50's stuck together.

[Mike Oxbig]

i fold them in half and stack them so they wont stick together

[MelonBoy]

grip it on the transparent part when you count/take them out... it gives better grip and they don't stick together like that..
