Bills are super dirty

Illumioonie?

No

But they can't be counterfeit, where would one find this elusive cotton?

It looks fake when not. They make fun of our money but the us's looks and is from another time.

also El Salvador uses USD officially and most day to day purchases are under $1 so the dollar coins are very prevalent there too.

tripped me out when I got there and didn't need to convert my cash lol

Almost as if Ecuador knows how to money and the states is a wierd place.

I still have one. They made sense when $2 CAD still meant something.

As someone who had to fix the bank machines during both cotton and polymer, you are 100% crazy. Cotton notes are nasty and wasteful.

See the picture of the later pointer though the $100 CAD bill posted above (or below)? That's what I mean by holographic features, you need a clear part of the bill to do that. There are magnetic, uv and micro printed security in almost all bills around the world, but people are not pulling out a tool to read the magnetic franking on a note they recive. With polymer notes its very viable when a security feature is missing or fake (one "trick" is packing tape for over two printouts) making usable counterfeits more costly then the note is worth.

The usd is the most counterfeited currency while the nations using polymer bills have almost zero incidents of it. Yet people (even right here) seem to feel the need to defend their silly green cotton based money from the past.

Power plant owners hate it when you do this one simple trick.

Or the safest nuclear bomb where the whole population of Canada has to insert a toonie into the bomb before it can launch.

Well that one was a kinda big lesson. But yeah maybe radiation "cures" will make a comeback.

This list is the list of countries the Royal Canadian Mint has ever produced coins for. I was recently on a tour at the Mint in Ottawa and they're currently producing coins for a just handful of countries - four or five, if I remember right.

Are you sure?

I couldn't find anything documented about that:

Royal Canadian Mint of Winnipeg: 0 results

Royal Canadian Mint of Ottawa: 0 results

That site is usually fairly accurate. For example, Greek Euro coins in 2002 were minted both in Greece and In Spain/France/Finland (depending on the value) because Greece didn't meete the criteria for a while and was accepted later than other countries, with less time to minr coins. The non-Greece minted coins have a small letter hidden in a star denoting the country they were minted in: E for Spain (España), F for France, S for Finland (Suomi). Take the 2 Euro coin for example: https://en.numista.com/120

75,400,000 were minted in Greece, 70,000,000 in Finland.

I can still see no sources backing up your claim.
