Cash withdrawal limits

What an unattractive woman, nobody is
going to like this.

I am not sure if they have settled on final design.

Many countries are certainly going splashier, even if the Anglo countries are more conservative

Anglo Countries






Scandinavia
Denmark, 2009 series
Sweden, 100 and 500 to enter October 2016
Norway, new banknotes starting 2017




Switzerland (The new 50 franc banknote was issued on April 12, 2016)

If I didn't know, I'd be hard pressed to guess
if Tubman was a man or a woman.

When they say the 100 peso note is "papel y polímero" does that mean some are paper and some are polymer, or is each note a combination of paper and polymer?

2010 marked the centennial of the Revolution and the bicentennial of Mexican Independence. There were commemorative notes issued that year, the 100 for the revolution and the 200 for independence. The 100 for that year was plastic. Before and after that year, though, they were all printed on paper.

Canada is circulation about 1.97 banknotes banknotes while Mexico is circulating 4.27 billion banknotes. But Canada had a massive counterfeiting problem about 12 years ago. It had a lot to do with their decision to change all denominations to polymer. In addition to lasting longer, they are harder to counterfeit.

In 1990, Canada's counterfeit ratio was just 4 PPM (Parts Per Million), ranking its currency among the most secure in the world. The number of fake Canadian bills rose as high as 117 PPM by 1997. In 2004 Canada’s counterfeit rate had ballooned to 470 PPM. Mexico has a rate of ~ 80 PPM.

It is possible that Money Uprising or Cash Uprising in Sweden is having some effect. The government has been systematically destroying cash for several years now, but the cash in circulation only dropped by $2 last month.



Sweden has no stated policy of how much cash is enough. Almost all central banks state that they produce enough cash to meet demand, and there is not much demand in Sweden. Although some ATMs limit withdrawals to $100-$200, many of them permit as much as $1000. If cash supply should go below $500 per capita, then ATMs will have to have more restrictive limits.

Personally, I think that statement is a "sound bite". Greece moved about $5000 per capita out of Greece in an effort to shield their assets if the drachma is restored. They have capital controls as all the ATMs were emptied of cash, and they can only withdraw up to 60 Euros per day. If they actually produced enough cash to meet demand, then the printing presses would be rolling non-stop.

Quote: former finance minister Anders Borg

Sweden's ballooning debt and housing shortages have passed the point of no return, making a future collapse in housing prices inevitable, argues Anders Borg. According to him, the consequences of this collapse will undermine economic growth as indebted households are increasingly forced to cut back on consumption.

"A 'touchdown' in the Swedish housing prices is coming and I do not see how it can be avoided. We only need to be able to adjust the balance sheet afterwards," who now advises the investment company Kinnevik and the global bank Citi, said in a speech at a bank conference, as quoted by Dagens Industri.

I'm going to lose a lot of clout with my liberal friends if this gets out, but I agree. Ugliest face on paper money I've ever seen.

I am not sure why everything has to be so serious. Sweden chose five women from the arts to put on their currency.

In her mid 20's Garbo was so stunning she
would take men's breath away. That's a
very good pic of her, but still doesn't do
her justice.
