I cannot figure out why you yankees dont come up here and shop like a crazy MoFo - you could cash in like a grand and have almost 2 grand canadain to spend!! Our prices are almost the same as yous…
the sixes you see are not commom to all dollars. some have 12’s 11’s etc.
the real interesting things are the owl in the upper right hand corner, and the double-sided Seal on the back… what you see on the right is the front of the Great Seal, and what you see on the left is the back…
is anyone else at all concerned that we have a TWO-SIDED great seal? anyone at all disturbed by this? just me? :o
and if you fold it just right, you can see a picture of the WTC burning!
of course, if you fold it a different way, you can probably see a picture of mickey mouse dancing with a winged elephant, but that doesn’t fit into any known conspiracy theories, so we won’t fold it that way!

How exactly does that work out?
And our money also has a magnetic strip inside and a watermark as well.
And soon they are planning on adding colors (I posted a thread on this way back)

I went to Montreal the past two new years eve’s and things are much more expensive to supplement the exchange.
lost - If I remember correctly, we don’t have a metallic strip in our money at this time. We do have a 1/20" film strip on which the denomination is photographically imprinted (hold it up to the light and you will see a row of 20’s). We also add certain colored fibers to the paper before printing, and “a few other things.”
and none of the “security features” totally works…
The latest series of bills, of which only the $10 bill has been released, has some new security features. The Bank of Canada says new $50 and $100 bills are being released last to allow more time to develop more sophisticated anti-counterfeit devices.
A glowing blue Canadian coat of arms and red security fibres appear when viewed under UV light.
A hidden number 10 can be seen here when the bill is viewed along its edge.
The golden maple leaves shimmer when the bill is tilted.
(I hope they release the 50 soon! heheh. hey… wait… there isn’t even a twenty out yet… only 5 and 10. I hope they release the twenty soon!)
