I'm skeptic. I weighed my credit card before and after: it seems there is no perceptible difference.

You may jest, but keep in mind that Canada is about ready to release the $5 coin. The average Canadian carries more ballast in his pockets than Christopher Columbus carried in the bilge of his boats.



And I actually did try to pay for the FRS in folding currency...turns out that is a bad idea in Canada and maybe also the Kingdom of Amurika.

By the way, OPEC has decided to cut production in UAE. They were losing money. So prices will start to climb again.

Is that a Scotiabank card in your pocket or are you just happy to see my FRS?

FFS! Not another coin! I heard rumours about this but thought "Not a chance they'd do that!"

There are no plans to release a coin to replace the $5 bill. They issued a special coin for 2017 that many thought was a replacement but it was just a limited release collector coin. Don't panic just yet.
