This week, they introduced the first in its new line of all-plastic notes a cool $100 bill made out of a single sheet of plastic polymer and tricked out with all kinds of high-tech security features.

In a statement, the Bank of Canada said that the new notes will last twice as long as paper money and will also be recycled, which makes them generally greener.

Explained new security features. That a suspicious money taker should note various aspects.

There are also two transparent windows on the note one small one depicts a frosted maple leaf, the other extends the height of the bill, and has a copy of the portrait toward the top of the window, and an image of a building at the bottom. And finally, there are secret numbers embedded in the maple leaf transparent window that are visible only if you hold the window very close to your eye and point it at a single-point light source.
