Canadians will soon hold in their hot little hands new state-of-the-art polymer bank notes that are being touted as among the most technologically advanced in the world.

“Secure. Durable. Innovative” is the Bank of Canada’s tagline in its promotion of the new bills, which have built-in features that make them hard to counterfeit.

To provide a variety of security features, traditional printing techniques are being combined with new inks, polymer materials, transparent areas, and detailed metallic elements.

Feel and look are the major marks of distinction of the new design. The notes will have a smooth texture since they consist of a single piece of polymer. Raised ink will be present on the numbers denoting the value of the bills, as well as on the shoulders of the prime minister’s image.
