<p>[QUOTE=&quot;se-collectibles, post: 854119, member: 24447&quot;]Canada is moving to polymer notes starting in 2011. They are moving away&nbsp; from rag notes to join Australia, Bermuda, Brunei, New Zealand and&nbsp; others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Polymer notes are more resistant to counterfeiting than rag notes and&nbsp; last FAR longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Get ready for a new batch of counterfeit US notes as counterfeiters move&nbsp; away from the harder to counterfeit Canadian polymer notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Canada is also changing the composition of the last remaining non-steel&nbsp; plated coins. The loonie and twonie will be moving to plated steel in&nbsp; 2011.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the heck is the US Gov&#039;t going to get with the program? Get rid of&nbsp; the $1, $2 and $5 notes and the cent, make $2 and $5 coins, and go&nbsp; polymer. I don&#039;t know what the savings would be, but it would be&nbsp; significant.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason they WON&#039;T do the above is it would take money away from&nbsp; their constituents that do the manufacturing. Lord knows the world would&nbsp; end if the suppliers of the rag paper our current paper money is made&nbsp; from would no longer be needed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
