Canada�s plastic $50 and $100 bills (OK, polymer, really) are meant to be virtually indestructible. Unless you put them accidentally on or too near a heat source, anyway.

    Well, you won't have to worry about people stealing money from your car on a hot summer day. It will be melted well before then :lol:

    Hmm, so they'll survive an accidental washing. Good luck with the dryer though 8O

    Did you know that the paper bills burn if you put a lit match to them? :wink:

    Same crap when the toonie came out. Oh look, plastic burns. If you hit a toonie with a hammer it breaks.
    Australia has had these exact bills forever and it's fine. People need to stop being resistant to progress and inventing problems.
    I took a 50$ plastic bill and left it on asphalt all day. The temp was nearly 150 degrees on that blacktop and NOTHING happened.

    I agree with Prof, if you leave your wallet on a toaster your're asking for trouble.
