Hello all!
The new $100 is shown on the Bank of Canada website:
http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes
It's nice!
-
Too bad it's just a "teaser" image and doesn't show the whole note. :-[
But, it looks like the security features have been beefed up, with "a metallic holographic stripe, a watermarked portrait and a see-through number."
See the story here:

As I work in the field of cartography and maps, this new note is a good candidate to become my favorite. I can't wait to see one up close.

What's VERY interesting is that the serial number is the EXACT SAME (except for the prefix) as on that JHS $5 "test note" that escaped from the BoC last year.

::)Looks cool and check out the new signature ;D

Has anyone noticed the new security features? The holographic stripe and the see through numbers I first saw on the Euros, and the watermark and the security thread are from American notes.
Very nice bill.
Should restore consumer confidence in the $100 note.
I wonder if they'll have the two note/identical serial number collector sets?

Here's a video link to the CBC story on the new note. Nice close-ups, and good detail of the security features!
And there's a close-up of the serial number on a circulation note, it's BJY0024007.

Good story, although the reporter got Borden's tenure wrong. ::)

Appears to be an improvement over the $5 and $10 for sure. Still has the same dead prime minister on it, though. Ho hum. Would really like to see something different for a change. I love the Merchants Bank of Canada 1906 $20 note with the steer's head on the left in lieu of a bank president's portrait. Can you picture the brown $100 note with, say, a full-size engraving of a cariboo bust? It's about time for a redesignage of our coinage too. ;)

:)Good article in the Globe&Mail today on the new $100,most interesting is it only costs .09c to make the new note
-
9 cents per note is 50% more than the old note: 4 cents for the note and 2 cents for the OSD.
