It appears some of Canada’s new plastic money can’t stand the heat of the summer.

There have been reports of the new 50 and 100-dollar polymer bills melting. The Bank of Canada though says it’s new bills are virtually indestructible.

Brittney Halldorson, a teller at the Interior Savings Credit Union in Kelowna, says the bills are supposed to withstand boiling water but she’s heard of cases where several of the bills have melted together inside a hot car.

She says the only way a person can be reimbursed is if they have the bill’s serial number.

Not many of us outside the civil service and the crown corporations like the CBC know what it's like to have $50's or $100's to not only stack but leave on the dash board. In fact your car would be broken into before the dash got hot.

Sorry, boss.
It's about that bank deposit.
It melted on my way to the bank.
What you want me to do with this empty oily canvass bag?
