Canada’s new money smells like maple syrup, Canadians say (VIDEO)
Canadians think their new money smells like maple syrup when they scratch it… maybe they’re just hungry.
Canadians have mixed feeling about their new poylmer money.
They stick together, they bend in odd places and they tend to slide easily out of your pocket when you reach for your cell.
The one redeeming quality, say some, is that the new money smells like maple syrup when you scratch it.
The rumors that Canadian money smelled like maple syrup have persisted for some time.
Recently, Canadian journalists acquired government correspondence using the Access to Information Act and found e-mails from the public asking whether it was true that the Bank of Canada added a secret scratch and sniff feature to the new bills.
The Bank has denied the allegations.
Of course, scratching the bill may produce an odor but the scent of maple syrup it is not.
