But sometimes my wallet gets overly packed        with so many 20s and 50s that I am tempted to go to a bank and        get it reduced to 500s.              But I found this:              "As of January 1, 2021, the $1, $2, $25, $500 and $1,000 bills        from every Bank of Canada series are no longer legal tender. "              "Removing legal tender status from these bills means that they        are no longer considered money. Essentially, you may no longer        be able to spend them in a cash transaction. This does not mean        that the notes are worthless. The Bank of Canada will continue        to honour them at face value."              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Creditors have better memories than debtors.
