Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 9:47 pm Yup. Tear resistant but once there is a tear they go fast. I think every Canadian tried to rip one when they first came out. Report this Post to the Staff

Shoeplier Valued Member Canada 254 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 12:46 pm When the polymer $50s came out, I heard of a friend who left one on her car's dashboard on a hot day and it melted. I guess extreme cold and heat aren't good for them. However, it solved the problem of paper notes just ripping in half from being used so much. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 8:05 pm Sorry, but why would someone leave money on their dashboard? One problem is that it's inadvisable to stuff a bill in your pocket the way one could with the old paper money. If you stick your hand in your pocket and it sticks to your hand, goodbye. They also don't fold very easily unless you crease it hard. It sort of forces one to carry a wallet or moneyclip. Report this Post to the Staff
