Info about the NEW $100 Note ....
In Response To: (Message Deleted by Poster) ()

In a high-tech and rather futuristic move largely to avoid counterfeiting, Canada began circulating all-plastic $100 bills last week. They’re made out of polymer, and quite honestly, they look completely awesome.

The bill is made from a single piece of smooth polymer, and in certain places – like on the large “100,” the words “Bank of Canada” and the shoulders of Sir Robert Borden (former Canadian primer minster) the ink is raised, adding multiple layers of security.

On the right is a large transparent “window,” which replicates the main image of the prime minister and below it includes a building. Tilt the bill and – whoa! – the building changes color.

But by far the coolest (and arguably hardest feature to replicate) is the maple leaf window. With a light source coming in from the other side, if you raise the window close to your eye you’ll see hidden numbers that correspond to the value of the bill. Whoa, again!
