Quarters have been coming out in different styles for almost 30 years, they added different colors to larger denominations maybe 5 or 10 years ago, pretty sure they’ve had holographic security features for 20 or more.
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.
I’m not “defending” it, I’m pointing out misinformation as I understand it. I made and make no judgements on said information. Also, just fyi, I think this sentence:
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.
…is missing some words or something, I can’t parse what you’re trying to say.

Auto correct. Not viable but visible.
Ah got it, makes sense now, thanks!
