Except this will only be on $50 and $100 bills. Does anyone even use bills anymore?

I don't care what they look like, as long as they can still fold and fit snugly in my wallet, as well as not have sharp edges due to the polymer. At least Canadian money still looks better than American.

They don't accept cards at the Tim's on campus.

Real problem is that you're going to Tim Horton's.

Did you read this article at all?

The Conservative government pledged in the 2010 budget to move the country to synthetic bills.
Images on the $100 note recognize breakthroughs in Canadian research including the discovery of insulin and the invention of the pacemaker.

The new $50 note, scheduled to circulate in March 2012, showcases images of the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Amundsen.

Some aspects of the bank notes are expected to remain consistent.

Sir Robert Borden, prime minister of Canada between 1911 and 1920, remains on the $100 note in an updated portrait. Two-time prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King remains on the $50 bill as well.

The much more common $20, $10 and $5 bills are expected to be unveiled and released by the end of 2013.

While their colours will not change, the smaller-denomination notes will have their own unique themes:

The $5 note is dedicated to Canada's space program
The $10 note will depict Canada's railway lines
The $20 note will feature sacrifices made in Canadian conflicts

BB~ o3o

Nope I didn't but

The $5 note is dedicated to Canada's space program

Makes total sense since that's about all we've invested in it.

You're such a meanie Sarah.

I wish we had $1 bills.

We used to. And 2 dollar bills too.

Money is like that in chile too, we dont' have nifty videos, but all bills are polymer the old ones still move around and work though.

Just like Mexico's, except we only have a small "window":

Where is it?

Also I always imagine pesos to be large, stone-like coins. I always enjoyed the thought of mexicans dragging a large sack of pesos to pay for a loaf of bread.

Thai bill used to have window in it. It was released... 5 years ago? And it vanished 2 years after that. It looked weird enough. It's never been advertised except being news on TV once. Other than that, it just... showed up.

Yeah we change bills like twice a decade. not sure it's a good idea.

You know, the more I think about this, the more I wonder, doesn't our government have more pressing matters to deal with than making new bills that are harder to counterfeit?...

NO

Let's let Harper focus on this. If he spends the entire next 4 years worrying about money designs the country will be better off for it.

NZ money has had a hole in it for a long time.

We do. The ones with a golden border are 10 pesos, we also have 20 peso coins that are a bit bigger than the 10 peso ones.

Just curious, so you have both a 20 peso coin and bill? If answering in the affirmative, which is more popular? I ask just to compare their usage to the $10HKD and $1USD denominations which both have coin forms.
