Default High Denomination Notes

£100 notes have been made in Scotland for many years, these are the
equivalent of can$200 but I have never seen one in circulation, £50's are
seen on occasion but the highest note regularly seen circulating is the £20
note. Billy

Heard that the idea of a C$200 note is a bad one, but answer this
question - would you rather have an unwieldly bundle of C$100 notes or
a bundle half as thick that looks less conspiculous. I think a C$200
note is a good idea, as I long suggested that the USA issue a US$200
note since, like Canada, the US$100 is the highest note in circulation.

the portrait of Queen Elizabeth, and the Haida canoe on the back was a
great
choice. If the Bank of Canada did issue a $200 note I would hope that it
would be a terra cotta red like the intaglio printing on the 1986 $2, or
the
darker red/brown that was used on the back of the 1935 $50. But I doubt
it'll ever get issued.

and the current series of francs does
not include it and neither will the next (which is due quite soon).

Is the Swiss National Bank really going to print the notes designed by
Manuel Krebs? Personally I don't like them.

I agree with you about the new series of Canadian notes. They are
really very nice. I love the new 20 and the 100 is very nicely done
too. I wish they would hold up better; it seems once they go into
circulation they fall apart quickly.
