I tried three times to open the link but oops! Changing the currency is a long, long task task to accomplish I would imagine. If your present cotton bills wear out too fast then I don’t imagine the switch to take effect would be all that long. I just know our paper money is made from cotton, by products and linen. Stuff last forever. Start saving the old money, someday it’ll be worth more then face value (if you live that long)......

"Canada to copy Aussie bills?" When is that supposed to take place? Do tell.

2011 - Canada put the $100.00 polymer bill into circulation.

2012 - Canada put the $20.00 and $50.00 polymer bills into circulation.

2013 - Canada put the $5.00 and $10.00 polymer bills into circulation.

(We started this process 7 years ago. Old news to us Canadians! We also got rid of the penny about a decade ago.)   :)))
