“Turns out Canada’s new $100 and $50 bills can’t stand the heat after all.  Under certain conditions they will curl up like bacon in a frying pan.  According to various reports, the so-called indestructible polymer bills will shrink under intense heat, be it the inside of a car or placed next to a heat source.  The new $100 bills, which were introduced in November, underwent scientific tests to make sure they withstood various conditions, the Bank of Canada says. The new $100 bills cost 19 cents each to produce — almost twice that of paper bills.”
