New Canadian Bank Notes

[Die Rote Fahne]

Canadian money will be made of polymer now. Pretty cool looking, always cooler than America's shitty notes.

You're right, it is pretty dope looking. I've always hated how drab American currency is... Seems like everywhere else around the world has far more artful money than we do. Maybe it's something to do with the Puritanical streak that everyone keeps going on about.

Oh, and moved to Chit-Chat.

Currency is Bourgeois and fetishizing over currency is even more Bourgeois. :lol:

Cool story.

I like Borden's hair. Anybody who can reliably maintain that kind of parting deserves 'nuff respeckkk. Also the notes look equally suave...

It's pretty, but where are the subliminal messages... No tiny hidden owls? No all-seeing eyeballs? No cryptic Latin phrases? You can't have proper currency without subliminal messages.

You seem to have a self-esteem complex, seeing as you brought up America where it really need not be brought up...

...why not compare notes to Euros? or wons? or riels?

Because the US $ is amongst the ugliest in the world.

If he had of said Euros wouldn't that have been bringing up Europe were it really need not be brought up? same with Riel/Cambodia and Won/Korea...
Also i like the Canadian money much better then American, but only because it looks funner to vandalize on account of the larger and more detailed faces.

Did I hurt your feelings?

I compared it to the US dollar because, unlike the Euro, it's quite ugly. As well, being Canadian, American money holds relevance to my location.

Talk about self-esteem complex.

We totally have them, it's just that our subliminal signals are so polite you kinda just ignore them cause they're not being pushy about the whole "Oh look at me and absorb my content into your subconscious!". :lol:

Cool. I think plastic banknotes should be adopted here too. After a bit of circulation paper notes start to feel soft like old rags and they smell too. I have to say that out of the places I have been to the US has had some of the nastiest looking/feeling money I have ever come into contact with, with UK £5 notes coming in a close second place. Amerikkkan money to green too, ugly as shit, probably to make you want to spend it quicker

90 percent of U.S. money laced with cocaine

Baltimore, Boston, Detroit had among the highest average levels

Traces of cocaine taint up to 90 percent of paper money in the United States, a new study finds.

A group of scientists tested banknotes from more than 30 cities in five countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, China, and Japan, and found "alarming" evidence of cocaine use in many areas.

I also heard there's a shitload of bacteria on them as well.
