Plastic Money Coming

[dan2x38]

I remember when we changed our 20's back in the 70's. When you went to the U.S. it was almost impossible to use them. Then every time we changed them it was just as card - they called it funny money. Now we will exchanging paper money for plastic - try to use those somewhere besides here!

I can't remember the last time I tried to use Canuck banknotes in the US. I convert a small amount of cash here, and once I cross the border, it's Interac/debit all the way. If you stick with certain banks, there won't even be a terminal fee.
