Actually a stack of the new Canadian bills smell really good, it's got this kind of maple scent to it. But you need a good stack otherwise it won't work.

Well, I haven't gotten lucky enough for that yet, but it's understandable why they want to get rid of it because of that. I wonder if they will find some way to get rid of the plastic from ticking to each other like it is. With these new bills I've made a habit of double checking what I get from ATMs, when I pay with the new bills, as well as when I get change with the new bills. So far I've almost lost $20 because I didn't check, luckily it was to my sister and she gave me the extra bill back.
