Well, at least I guess you can still spend it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/18/canada-20-bill-wrong-maple-leaf_n_2506299.html?1358544508&ncid=webmail8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also rumours that they may not survive a tumble in a hot clothes dryer. Add a foreign maple leaf to the mix and we clearly have grounds to bring down the government and call a fresh election!

I like the colours cause with a glance you know exactly what you are pulling out of your wallet.Not like when I am in the USA,I have to be really carefull of theirs(I don't recognize many of their presidents),although they are starting to put some colour in the money also.

First rule of finance, make sure you know what you are spending regardless of the currency. I find it interesting that the bills might melt in the dryer. More than a few times I have had money go through the washer and dryer but thankfully have always been able to restore it. Imagine taking a ball of wadded plastic to the bank and asking for a new 20.00 bill. I would be a poorer man today if I had plastic money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have heard of plenty of Canadians putting them through the wash and dry cycle and no problems. LordOfChaos and Hemps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
