NEW CANADIAN $100 CIRCULATES
CBC/Radio-Canada, Canada's national public broadcaster,
published an item about the country's new $100 bill:"Canada's new $100 bills were put into public circulation
Wednesday - the latest of the country's currency notes to
face a redesign to make them more difficult to counterfeit.The back of the $100 note will no longer feature a Canada
goose. It has been replaced with a new theme - "innovation
and exploration" through mapping. Former prime minister Sir
Robert Borden is still featured on the note, although with a
different portrait.The brown note gets several new anti-counterfeiting features,
including a metallic holographic stripe, a watermarked portrait
and a see-through number.""Many retailers now routinely refuse to accept $100 bank
notes because of worries they might be counterfeit.The Bank of Canada plans to introduce new $20 and $50
notes later this year. The $5 and $10 notes have already been
revamped with new security features.To read the full story, with an illustration of the
new note, see: Full Story- 2004-03-21
