[QUOTE="AlanFromRoc, post: 1291882, member: 33971"]Having normal US currency isn't an issue in Canada, at least the parts of Canada that myself and my relatives have been to. From what I've seen, it seems most tellers have plenty of $100s in relatively new condition. Pre-1995 and pre-1990 bills are rare enough that you can easily avoid them if you want to. (In 1990, they added microprinting and a security thread without changing the outward appearance.) They're still using the design that was introduced with Series 1996; the 2009 redesign hasn't been released yet due to production problems. Series 2006A is the most recent and hasn't circulated much in the US, but the Series 2006, the next-most-recent, has. The US has never demonetized its old designs, whereas many other countries have. Confusion over that issue may be a factor in addition to older designs being easier to counterfeit.[/QUOTE]
