Today, I will write about the $100 dollar Canadian note, since it was the first time I was able to get in my hands an 'old' and 'new' version of the bank note, at the same time.  I have taken pictures of the front/back of the note.  

The Canadian $100 note is currently the highest valued and least circulated of the five banknotes. 

The 5 notes are:

$5,

$10,

$20,

$50, &

$100. 

The current version of the $100 note was introduced into circulation in November 2011. 

          New Note on Top

This note is made of a durable polymer instead of the traditional paper notes.  

The note is brown in colour. 

The front design:

The front of the bank note features former Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden

The back design:

The back of the bank note shows the discovery of 'insulin'.

The main reason for the 'new' currency is the security feature of having two transparent windows; which make the notes difficult to forge.  

Of the two windows, the first extends from the top to the bottom of the note and has holographic image.  The other window is in the shape of a maple leaf. 

Have you seen this 'new' currency yet?

Thank you for reading,
