Leaving everything alone would not necessarily be a good thing for evolution - that's for sure.... So perhaps we should take a back seat and enjoy the ride on this one. Let's see what the RCM comes up with and then go from there.

Canadian coins, whether we like it or not, we'll all have to sit back and accept what comes. Just don't expect me to be paying much attention or displaying much enthusiasm. I'd rather be back in a 1960's town marvelling at a new silver quarter or studying the quiet rural beauty resting defiantly on a dollar bill.

Hi

I too heard about polymers being introduced here for new Canadian bills on a radio station I listen to from Toronto.

Apparently, the bills can also be cleaned without any damage as well.

Does this not put a whole new meaning to the term 'laundering money' ? <G>

Cheers

@Bujutsu: well I doubt it.. I heard the polymers are bad for business.. they don't bundle up as nicely as the cottons, so they're harder to work with, harder to count.... imagine trying to bunch up and count a lot of bent and mangly rubber coins to stack.. it'd be harder
