It will not be a coin. It will be a bill.
I would say that most of the changes and advancements we're making.... For one thing, we do the notes. The mint does the coins. The advancements and gains that I think we focus on most now are about anti-counterfeiting—making sure that bills are not easy to counterfeit and that people continue to have confidence.
You talked about getting rid of some of the very large bills. You can imagine that small businesses worry if they take a five-dollar counterfeit note. That's different from taking a $100 counterfeit note. If you're a counterfeiter, you're always going to counterfeit the big bills.
These new notes that are coming out are going to have enhanced counterfeit measures. Overall, the Bank of Canada has an extremely good record on counterfeiting, with very low parts per million.
