I bought my parents a kitchen Radio/CD player a couple of years ago for christmas and I paid for it all with canadian tire money. It was around $200!! Thats when I used to fill up with gas there and got C.T. money back.

Haha.. yeah it was a STACK of bills... The poor girl at the till, I can remember standing there for what seemed like forever counting out 5.. 10.. 15.. 20.. Now I'm saving up for something "Real Nice" and expensive... like a lawn tractor or something!

[scuttles]

I heard it's pretty hard to counterfit, it's printed at the canadian mint and all...but then again how hard is it to counterfit regular money...

[davidI]

Pretty hard or else everyone would be doing it.
