Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 So, I've just visited an ATM, and it gave me some of the new plastic bills. Given that this is a cash-based industry, I'm guessing we'll all encounter them pretty soon. So, what do you think about them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bridgette 10998 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 I hear they can melt in the heat/sun, though the Bank of Canada denies that claim. Overall, I like how vibrant the new colours are but I get annoyed with folding them since they neither stay fully folded nor do they go back to straight like paper bills can. Nothing is perfect!

piano8950 32577 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 Haven't used them, but assuming they are the same as the $50 and $100, I like them a lot. I hated having to use half ripped up paper bills, and considered it a waste when a barely year old bill would be ripped up to be replaced with another paper bill. The lifecycle was too short. At least with these, I don't have to worry about it getting wet, ripped and from what I heard, less likely to be used to snort cocaine (thinking about my money being used by some druggie to get high just gives me the heebie jeebies) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
backrubman 64800 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 It's not so new to me as the pesos in República Dominicana have been going plastic with the see though windows for some time now. They do hold up really well in the washing machine :) I remember the days of spending a paper $1000 DOP note (equivalent of $25 Canadian) at the grocery store and the clerk would spend a lot of time holding each one up to the light and carefully inspecting it to ensure it wasn't counterfeit, those days are now gone, hurray!

Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 I like it, I love the colours and think the new bills will last much longer than the old dirty paper ones. However, machines need to be updated in order to accomodate the new bills - I tried using a new twenty at an automated grocery teller and it wouldn't accept it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IsaMassage 54318 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 Agree with Cleo, I like the colours they are fun! but also yes have to be careful as they stick together or they slip easy out of your pockets.., But they are cute :) hehe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dorinda Bloom 44036 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 It really doesn't matter to me either way....but it's true, you definitely have to slow down and be extra careful when counting. It will just take a little getting used to handling the new bills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serena Blake 14066 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 Ya the new $20 is kinda bland. But the new bills in general are sparkly and pretty :) and we all know how much us ladies LOVE sparkly and pretty things :) the new $20's stick to each other still a bit but so did the $100's and $50's at first but don't seem to as much anymore :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
