Canada is ready to dump paper money because this month the new batch of polymer plastic currency for Canada will be released. This new Canadian dollar will make counterfeiter mostly impossible. Here are the qualities and some security features which are embodied in this Canada's new polymer bank notes.
- Durable Money Bills- This plastic money from Bank of Canada are made from polymer plastic designed to be long lasting compared to old paper bills. It's water proof and more resilient to wear and tear from everyday use. It is estimated that it will have double life span compared to paper money. This will also decrease the money spent by government printing money over long period of time.
- Innovative - This is very first currency in the world that will be made from single piece of polymer plastic. It will have two transparent windows giving it a more futuristic effect.
- Secure - The new plastic bills are packed with great security features that comes along with innovation. Feeling the bill you can detect some security features like embossed figure, and Bank of Canada text.
The windows are not only for fancy look but its also a way of putting extra security features. The smaller frosted maple leaf window will show the figure or amount of the currency when viewed from a single light source. The second and larger window shows an exact figure on the bill, with a building below it, when you tilt the bill colors when change on this images, the same s true when you view the bill from the other side.
The new $100 notes will be available this month and the succeeding denomination like $50 notes will be out March next year, and more smaller bills will be coming 2013.
