This afternoon I used the automated checkout at a local Dollarama. Imagine my surprise when it gave me a paper 5 dollar bill in change. This is the first paper Canadian bill I've seen since 2019. On top of that it's a 2002 issue 5. The last paper 5 issued in Canada was in 2006, which had security features added. So this one could be more than 20 years old. You have to wonder where this one has been hiding all these years, as paper bills are removed from circulation by banks. Will I ever receive another one? Stay tuned.
