Wisely the mint has decided not to create the two hundred dollar bill. This leaves the hundred as the highest bank note in current mass circulation in Canada. A major reason why this is happening is that store owners complained that changing one or more of these bills would empty the till, and this makes sense to me[as I have had the experience of paying for 20 dollars worth of books-paying with a 50 dollar bill & getting a fist full of twonies in change]
