This is definitely an urban legend.\nIn fact, Canada does not currently have bank notes for either one or two dollar denominations.

TEN DOLLAR BILL:\n\n"REDESIGNED $10 NOTE STARTS CIRCULATING TODAY\nU.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Board and U.S. Secret Service Officials Spend First New $10 at the National Archives\n\nWashington - March 2, 2006 - The redesigned $10 note entered circulation today at the National Archives, home of the U.S. Constitution, which figures prominently in the new note’s design.\n\nOn its first day in circulation, officials from the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Board and U.S. Secret Service used a new $10 note to purchase a pocket-sized copy of the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Shop. The phrase "We the People" from the U.S. Constitution is featured on the face of the new $10 note. Images of the Statue of Liberty’s torch are also incorporated into the new design.\n\nToday is the redesigned $10 note’s day of issue, the day the Federal Reserve System begins delivering the new notes to commercial banks for distribution to businesses and the public worldwide. The notes will begin circulating immediately in the United States and will then be introduced in other countries in the days and weeks ahead, as international banks place orders for $10 notes from the Federal Reserve.\n\n"Staying ahead of would-be counterfeiters is a top priority of the U.S. government, and in order to do that, our currency will need to be redesigned every seven to 10 years," said United States Treasurer Anna Cabral. "Through the introduction of new designs with state-of-the-art security features, we will continue to safeguard the integrity of U.S. currency and help protect businesses and consumers."\n\nThe new $10 note incorporates easy-to-use security features for people to check their money and subtle background colors in shades of orange, yellow and red. \n\nWhile consumers should not use color to check the authenticity of their currency, color does add complexity to the note, making counterfeiting more difficult. Different colors are being used for different denominations, which will help everyone – particularly those who are visually impaired – to tell denominations apart. \n\n"In addition to recognizing the design elements and enhanced security features of the new $10 note, it is important for the public to know they will not need to trade in old notes for new ones," said Michael Lambert, Assistant Director of Federal Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems. "Older-design notes will maintain their full face value." \n\nSince unveiling the new $10 note design last September, the U.S. government has distributed more than 10 million pieces of educational material with information about the new $10 note to prepare businesses, stakeholder organizations and consumers worldwide for the new note’s issue. \n\n"Each time we issue a redesigned denomination, our goal is to ensure its smooth transition into daily commerce both domestically and abroad," said Bureau of Engraving and Printing Director Larry Felix. "Over the past six months, we have worked with manufacturers of ATMs and other machines that receive and dispense cash, as well as retailers, small businesses and international governments, so that they may prepare for today’s day of issue of the redesigned $10 note." \n\n"As the permanent home of the U.S. Constitution, the National Archives is pleased that the U.S. Treasury has featured the Constitution in the new $10 bill," said Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein.\n\nThe new $10 note – like the redesigned $20 and $50 that preceded it – incorporates stateof- the-art security features to combat counterfeiting, including three that are easy to use by cash handlers and consumers alike: \n\nColor-shifting ink: Tilt your ten to check that the numeral "10" in the lower righthand corner on the face of the note changes color from copper to green. \nWatermark: Hold the note up to the light to see if a faint image of Treasury Secretar

It is a matter of wording.\n\nThe bill was $75.  The cashier gave them $5 discount, so now the bill is just $70.  So the waiter gives back $1 each, so everybody paid $24, giving us $72.  $70 of which went to the cashier, and $2 into the waiters pocket!

hi,\n\nthere is a bit about cheque fraud on this page:\nhttp://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/Laws/Canada/criminal_laws.htm\n\nthis page from the mounties\nhttp://www.rcmp-learning.org/iim/ecdi1018.htm\ndiscusses it further:\n\n-----\n\nAt this point we should divert for a few moments and discuss the issue of NSF cheques. This is one of the most common false pretence offences you will encounter and it would be well to clarify that issue now.\n\nRead Sub-section 362(4) of the Criminal Code of Canada.\n\nYou probably noted that this sub-section is designed specifically to deal with NSF cheques. It places the onus of proof on the person writing the cheque, to show reasonable belief at the time of writing, that the cheque would have been honoured. This "reverse onus" takes effect the instant it is dishonoured due to insufficient funds.\n\nThis is a controversial issue which has been challenged (R. v. Driscoll (1987), 38 CCC (3d) 28 Alt, Ca).  Some courts have deemed it to be a violation of the constitutional rights, contrary to Sub-section 11(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees presumption of innocence until proven guilty.\n\nThe Canada Evidence Act (Section 29), provides authority to obtain documentary evidence of "no funds", or "NSF" cheques. \n\n------\n\nanother link:\nhttp://www.lawyers.ca/dharris/articles/fraudrevistedpartiii.htm\n\n\nalso, be aware that in the US, it is NOT considered criminal to write an NSF check for a DEBT:\nhttp://www.ckfraud.org/penalties.html\n\ni don't know about canada.  probably best to ask a lawyer; most will give you a free 1-hr consultatoin.  keep in mind that since it's such a small amount ($100) you are unlikely to get the officials interested in pressing charges.  it's possible though.  i think small claims court is probably your best bet.

yes it is illegal to deface money though you'd be hard pressed to find anyone actually charged for it.\n\nThe funny thing is, the old Canadian five dollar bills had our first Prime Minister on it. By drawing black hair on him with a marker and pointy eyebrows, he would look more like Spock from Star Trek. \n\nAnd I promise you that I've seen many of those and never heard of anyone getting charged for it.

The highest current denomination is the $100 bill.\n\nThe highest bill ever printed, however, was a $100,000 note that was printed from December 18, 1934 to January 9, 1935. It was used for transactions between Federal Reserve Banks. President Woodrow Wilson was pictured on the front.\n\nThe following bills have not been in print since 1946: $500 (William McKinley); $1,000 (Grover Cleveland); $5,000 (James Madison); and $10,000 (Salmon P. Chase, former Treasury Secretary).

I am not familiar with the concept of "issue" - must be Canadian.

You'd have to tell me the denomination. As an example in this 20 thousand bolivares bill http://www.kcshop.com/fc/p.php?pic=F5182 you can see the face of Andres Bello in one side, and a Guacamaya (big parrot), an orquid (national flower) and Angel Fall (the biggest in the world, I think). That's just one example, there are a lot more.
