hard to digest this news from metronews.ca. How tested notes could not bear Canadian Summer.....

It appears some of Canada’s new plastic money can’t stand the heat of the summer.

There have been reports of the new $50 and $100 polymer bills melting. The Bank of Canada though says it’s new bills are virtually indestructible.

Brittney Halldorson, a teller at the Interior Savings Credit Union in Kelowna, says the bills are supposed to withstand boiling water but she’s heard of cases where several of the bills have melted together inside a hot car.

She says the only way a person can be reimbursed is if they have the bill’s serial number.

“We understand what the climate conditions are like in Canada,” said Julie Girard, a currency spokesperson for the Bank of Canada. “We’ve put these notes through a lot of testing so that they stand up to our very hot summers and cold winters. The notes perform as intended under the conditions.”

Girard said that if anyone has a bill that has been damaged in any way, that they can have them replaced by filling out a form on the bank’s website.

“The bank is very clear about what folks need to do,” she said. “Fill out the form and we’ll replace the quantity and value.”

I do not think they would have put it a tin can and heated it with a heater and tested it, or put it in the oven or barbecued it and tested it either....

If it cannot withstand Canadian summer; imagine a tourist carrying a bunch of polymer Canadian $50 or $100 (or the soon to be launched $20/$10/$5), all it melts away in the indian summer, or even in hot temperatures in the middle east..
