  The $20 note I used to see when I was a kid

  

  The one used by the time I left Canada

  

  The latest  "pretty-colour Monopoly plastic version" I see since my return.

  Make sure to check ALL pockets before drying or ironing your clothes. Don't ask why I emphasize this.

  LOL....have heard some stories of people not checking ther pockets before doing laundry. I would assume that their bank would of exchanged the damaged bills for a new one as long as the serial number was readable.

  Oh no.  All I can think is the PMs from the New Canada Currency project must have moved on to WGT after that successful rollout.  LOL

  If I lived in Canada my laundry bill would rise BIGTIME.  We have a rule in our house...the person who does the laundry gets to keep all proceeds. 😄

  !!! Is this for real, Brian?! I didn't know about this and just threw them away. They were only a couple of $5 bills but still... :( Thanks for the info, though. Good to know!
