OTTAWA – Soon you’ll have even more plastic in your wallet.
Wednesday the Bank of Canada is unveiling the new $20 polymer bank notes.
The bills replace paper-cotton bills that wear and tear more easily.
Canada has already switched to polymer bank notes, which are more durable and harder to fake than paper money, for the $50 and $100 bills.
The Conservative government announced in its 2010 budget that Canada would be switching to synthetic bills.
Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney unveiled the new bill in Ottawa.
