Other times Bank of Canada came up

  1. Speaking of notes in Canada, a few years ago, there was a rumor that all Canadian banknotes smelled of maple syrup and people were kind of pulling them out of their pockets and smelling them and believed that they could smell maple syrup and everyone on the internet was saying yeah mine smell of maple syrup as well but mine only smell of it when I take them out my pocket and they've warmed up so they must be putting something in the note and I keep on the pocket I keep on my maple syrup in well I think that must have been it or it was just like a weird hysteria because the bank of Canada said that actually there's nothing in there and we've tested ours and they don't smell a maple syrup. They have got in trouble in the past as well, the Bank of Canada, because they did a new series of banknotes and they put a maple leaf on.
