Canadian Bank Warns People

“Bank of Canada believes that writing and marking on banknotes are inappropriate because they are a symbol of our country and a source of national pride,” Menard told Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in an email.

The spokeswoman also said that dissatisfied bills may not circulate for as long and run the risk of being rejected by retailers.
