The old Canadian bills already had a braille-like pattern of raised dots that allow blind people to identify denominations without assistance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_currency_tactile_feature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_currency_tactile_featu... Hopefully the new bills will retain this feature. As for the good ol' American green-back. Americans are excessively conservative when it comes to their currency. Just look at how long it took them to add colors other than green! At least we no longer have to put up with Americans mocking our currencies for being multi-colored monopoly bills. If americans are skeptical of polymer bills I can only take that as a good sign for these new Canadian bills.
