Rumours persist that Canada’s new polymer $100 bills smell like maple even though the Royal Canadian Mint denies adding any scent to the bills.
Stories have popped up on blogs, Tweets and YouTube and people have written to mint asking whether there is a scratch-and-sniff feature on the new bills.
The smell of maple of course is dear to Canadians who are fond of the syrup which, each spring, is made from the sap of the maple tree.
Some people insist they can smell it when they sniff the currency. Others wonder what else they may have been sniffing.
