Canadians will soon be carrying a lot more plastic around in their wallets, but rather than following the lead of their overcharging brethren to the south, the government is switching to plastic cash, furthering the effort to thwart counterfeiters.
The polymer bills will last more than twice as long as the paper-cotton variety, and contain features such as transparent text, hidden numbers, holographic likenesses and raised ink among others. This step forward in currency will appropriately enough also celebrate the accomplishments of Canadian science on the new bills as well.
