Pretty soon "paying with plastic" in Canada won't necessarily mean using your credit card.
The government just announced that late in 2011 it will replace it's paper-cotton bank notes with ones made from a polymer material.
The so-called "synthetic" currency is much harder to counterfeit and should last two to three times longer than the old natural kind (paper and cotton coming from trees and shrubs).
It couldn't come at a better time. Nowadays most people are looking to stretch their dollars.

As that guy famously told Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, plastics is the future. And that was nearly a half century ago.
Gee, I wish you hadn't said that -- the half-century part, I mean.
I feel your pain, pal. But look at the bright side: what wisdom we've accumulated!
