I think this is a pretty neat idea, actually.

>implying canadian money is used at all

Cool. Good job Canada.

You're a badass hat.

Cool, Canada is gonna be like Australia since we're BFFs and all. USA can stick with their shitty paper money.

Well done canada.

You have finally decided to join the rest of the commonwealth, in adopting this far superior form of banknotes.

To bad America is way to retarded to do the same. They STILL refuse to use metric system so id say they will still be using paper notes for at least anther 50 years.

lol
well i guess it had to start some time.
australia has been using polymer notes for more than ten years now.
it'll probably be another 10+ years before america catches on, by that time we will have a better currency system

where does it actually imply that the "Canadian money soon not worth the paper its printed on"?

>>299860
Hey, don't ask questions. At least he's posting a news story instead of LOL FAGGOT LIBDURRS or HURR RETARD LOLBERTARIANS

>>299824
Australia actually uses plastic bills since 1993.

>>299860
Because it soon won't be printed on paper ;-)

>>299860
I dunno. Copy writers seem to value being clever over accuracy.

>>299824
>>299868
Well played.

>>299868
i guess that makes sense

>>299879
THATS THE JOKE

So, I'm confused, is the money, like, little cards? Is it like the credits you always see in sci-fi movies?

>>299894
I KNOW

>>299906
nah, it's the same bill, but like in plastic mode, it still folds the same way and it doesnt get shitty after being washed. Even mexico has them.

>>299927
>Even mexico has them.

Interesting...then why can't America implement plastic banknotes?

>>299906
Multi-pass?

>>299927
Okay.

Is it, like, bioplastic? Don't tell me you're going to waste oil on money.

Ron Paul 2012, or world currency by 2013.

>>299938
Because our paper is fairly difficult to counterfeit. due to the mixture of cloth and metal in the paper

>>299849

>>299955
Cloth and metal?

But people still do counterfeit American money despite that.

>>300004
And the paper is the easiest way to bust those people

>>300004
Dude we have to have someone to make crime comedies about

As a Canadian, I didn't even know this was happening. Awesome. I hope they get rid of pennies soon. I hate pennies.

Seriously, though, I can't get over why you would switch from cotton notes, which you can grow, to plastic notes, which you have to make from petroleum.

>>299906
AMERICAN DETECTED.

This is a pretty feeble excuse to feel superior.

Thanks for turning a cool thread in to a shitty thread in the span of 3 posts.

WELL COME TO YOUR PAPERLESS NEW WORLD ORDER, KKKANADA

>>299938

Alot of the reasons is because people generally have an assumption of what a dollar looks and feels like. Adding ink other than green was a big change because people thought it was fake money. You change over to a different style like that, you have to get the feel for it correctly.

There is also the symbolism of an unchanging unwavering currency that signifies stability.

What plastic money means to me.

What is the texture of this stuff, is is closer to a stiff artificial fabric or is it like a ultra thin, flexable credit card?

>>300464
It's a lot like paper, only in the case of australian money it has clear plastic windows you can see through and it's badass.

5 story bubble!

It was never supposed to be called "paper" money, but the fact that you had something better than a Promisory Note or Certified Promisory Note; "paper" money meant it was private, otherwise known as a Warehouse Receipt that you could withdrawal the account through endorsement to redeem or pass it on to another.

Switching to plastic means it's of no value as a Bill of Exchange drafted to any certain value, but the fact is Canaduh is actually going to begin a plastic-Standard with this as their Coinage Act.

Absolute laugh, that reflects the stupidity of Canaduh culture. Zimbabwe currency has more purpose than plastic tokens.

Fiat currency is what? A dollar of a dollar is worth what again?

Too fucking right, enjoy ruining your money every time it gets damp amerifags

>>299866

Australia has used them since 1988.

where's your avatar, faggot?

gb2 /mu/

>>301602

In pants when I pissed them while I was drunk.

>>301608

>>301612

>>301615

Dunno, you just seem a bit tense

>>301619

>Implying that Governments use Paper Money LOL

Protip: lrn2gb2Cottonfield Nigger

Paper money is dirty, and absorbs peoples urine.

Most of the people on this board that hate america, but imply they don't live there. (I live here, and I hate this country.)

You do live in America, don't you? If you don't, it's strange you have nothing better to talk about.
"I'm patriotic, and this is why America sucks." Picking on someone in order to empower yourselves. Basically, you all sound like you have a short guy complex.

Gold and silver is money faggets


But I still support Canada with this change

>>301984
What do you hate about this place? Also, I think there are more non-amerifags on here than you may think.

Well, libfags can't be American, because they're not sensible Christians.
