      @scottalanmiller plastic money like Aus & NZ

      I've not been to Canada in too long. What do you mean plastic? It's plastic foil in the shape of a paper bill?

                Plastic money can't feel good in underwear, either. LOL

                      What does plastic money feel like? How rigid is it?

                        @Dominica Think thick saran wrap - it's extremely tough but you can still wad it up into a ball. It's really awesome, I highly recommend it! You can put it through the washer and dryer with zero ill effects. Very thin so you can have a thinner wallet (not that anyone uses notes these days). You can not physically tear one with your bare hands - it's impressive.

                          Oh, neat! What a good idea. I wonder how much more it costs to produce?

                            @Dominica They're a bit more than the cotton blend you're used to but they last 10 times longer (or more). I wasn't joking below, banks are sanitizing them and de-wrinkling them and they look new again.

                            I was very sceptical when they arrived but now I prefer them over the old money.

                                  Money that can survive water. Welcome to the future.
                                  We've been here a while. Toilets are cleaned at 10 so try and hold it until then.

                                    A new way for thieves to steal money.. Flush it from the bank into the public sewer then go track it down underground.

                                      Yeah, not here. Sewers aren't easily accessible (plant equipment required) and people can't walk in them.

                                      The money might get caught in the filter at the treatment plant, if it doesn't clog the dunny.
