New Canadian 100 Dollar Bills – Feel Like Plastic, Smell Like Maple Syrup
Some people like the smell of money. Most people like the smell of maple syrup. If you like the smell of both, you’ll probably like the way the new Canadian $100 (one hundred dollar) bill smells.
$100 Bills – As Canadian as Maple Syrup
It has quite a few features with a plastic feel, some silver and clear areas, and yes, it has a faint fragrance of maple syrup. It doesn’t really feel like real money. It feels really slippery. These anti-fraud features are supposed to make it more difficult for counterfeiters to try to pull their slippery scams but one thing is probably still going to be an issue — most Canadian retailers don’t want $100 bills. Many won’t accept $50 dollar or $100 bills. I wonder if this will change anything…
What do you think of the look, feel, and the smell of the new Canadian $100 bill?
Yes, they do vaguely smell of maple. We’re living in some strange times, my friends. Strange and silly times.
they will eventually be replacing all the bills, 50′s in march 2012, 20′s, 10′s and 5′s in 2013.
Hopefully the new bills will help retailers accept the 100′s.
and I hope they all smell of something pleasant…
50′s like apples
20′s like weed
10′s like grape
5′s like the ocean
hee hee…
I’d say how bout if it were more Canadian…
$100′s like Maple…yes, but:
$50′s like Poutine
$20′s like Ketchup Chips
$10′s like
Beaver Tailspemeal bacon$5′s like Tim Horton’s Coffee
LOL….
I tried to feed the new $100 CDN bill into a self checkout machine Walmart last night It spit it out like a bad penny. But it spit it so far I had trouble finding it for a second!
My brother gave me one just a couple minutes ago. They are BEAUTIFUL. I couldn’t believe when my brother showed it before he gave me one.
the smell is strongest on the back of the bill…and if you get it wet the smell becomes more distinst. Real neat
It is actually a concensus at our workplace that the new $100 bills smell like curry.
hey john, is your workplace an indian restaurant?!
They smell more like Fenugreek to me, which is an ingredient in curry but has a scent similar to maple.
We should make the money smell like a beavers ass, or a caribou’s nards…
Or like Stephen Harper.
what a *** CENSORED*** waste of tax dollars
It really does smell like maple syrup. I tried it last night.
I thought i was the the only one ..lol
totaly maple or brown sugar
Actually Dick McGee, these bills will end up costing less in the long run, since they will prevent counterfitting and last longer.
I think it smells like curry
