Magistr8 0 #1 March 28, 2002 I have 2 posts that I am attending to right now and I'm not sure if that makes me a post whore or not so i'm just going to go ahead and continue. I was just watching the news here in the peg. (Winnipeg, Manitoba) for those of you in the US of A. I have a real problem with this since we seem to be unhappy about everything that we have. Our Ten Dollar bill just last year was changed to accomodate these new security features and replace the "aging 10 dollar bill". I'm sorry but if there is something that we can't add to the existing bill please let me know why. Now on the the Five dollar bill. I'm jealous that I do not live in the US sometimes. You guys have been going years with your existing bills and have so many features built into them that the bill is pretty much non-couterfitable<( someone please let me know that correct term to use here) and yet we take 3 TIRES TO GET IT RIGHT. Come on here government officials if there is a reason that we need fancy new bills JUST to incorporate new security features I think that what are really saying is " Pay attention to Canada. Look at what is going on in our country".I know that my essay is now drawing to a close so I will just say that I DO love my country, even though we do some retarded things sometimes. I just wish more effort would be spent on things that matter to us instead of these little " Hey that's neat" and then forget about them in a week dealies.Teacher what is my grade> I should keep away from political issuesWho ever said comming down from a high was bad obviously never tried this.Magistr8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Canadian titty bars too. In the USA the Chics suck you dry $1 at a time. Up there they have to sell you table dances for cheap because $1 Loon coins don't stay in garters very well. I just remember the one French-Canuk chic that claimed not to speak English. Yeah right....we're Americans but we aren't THAT stupid....."I have 145 jumps so I always jump with a JM so he can pull for me."-Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird 0 #3 March 28, 2002 I haven't seen it yet. Does it have the funky UV-only writing? And at least it's still a bill, not another coin. I mean, I love the loonie and the twoonie, but enough is enough!all we are is dust in the wind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #5 March 28, 2002 Funny, Personally I think the new Canadian currency is among the most beautiful in the world. I think it's great that Canada values the appearance of it's currency in the same way that european countries do.The one thing I hate about being in the states is that their bills are so dificult to tell apart._AmICQ: 5578907MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfeYahoo IM: ametcalf_1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magistr8 0 #6 March 28, 2002 Well I havn't actually gotten the whole story on the new bill. I was watching the matrix on TV in the background when the commercial came on saying what was going to be on the evening news. They did mention that it has the same features as the new 10 bill we just got and that has the UV writing in it. Also included in the 10 bill is the same coding that appears on checks to prevent photocopying and digital scanning. There is also individual color patterns that is supposed to add to the whole security issue. All in all there are 10 security features built in to prevent it from being copied. Lets get real though, why copy a canadian 10 when you know damn well it's only worth 6 and change in the US market.Who ever said comming down from a high was bad obviously never tried this.Magistr8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrumpySmurf 0 #9 March 28, 2002 That's cuz dem dere Hells Angels in Montreal, eh, got themselves nuttin' better to do but draw paper money, ya hoser. .Gotta say it threw me for a loop coming to Yankie land for the first time, when I was used to Monopoly/Canuck cash - with Canuck dollars, you don't need to really look at the bill to know how much it is, the colour clues you in right away, all you really need to know are that the Yuppie Foodstamps ($20's) are Green. With Yank money, all the bloody stuff is green, so you gotta pull the freakin' bills apart and look at 'em to figure out if in fact you don't have enough on ya to head to the bars. Though I'll give the Yanks credit, their bills are smaller, and easier to roll up in your pocket (for those of us who refuse to carry wallets ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
