"Ottawa, Canada - On Thursday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s minority Conservative government announced in its budget that its paper currency will go plastic by late next year, according to the Globe and Mail. The plastic notes will also contain high security features to ensure that the $10 and $20 bills last longer."

"Finance Minister Jim Flaherty also announced that the nation’s $2 and $1 coins will be replaced with steel instead of the predominantly nickel-based."
