I'm positive there is a group of people who just sit around all day and come up with ridiculous things to put in our money. Did you know our new plastic money has a scratch'n'sniff maple leaf in it that smells like maple syrup?! ...not that I'm complaining, I think all this is great XD

That odd quarter is only a limited mint and sell for $30 a piece. I wanna get my hands on that "plastic coinage"!

No plastic coins....the bills are all going to be plastic! Only the hundreds and fifties are out so far. Smaller bills are coming out next year I believe.
