Different-colored bills would have avoided the problem a friend of mine
had recently. Among the 20's he got when he cashed his check at the bank
was a $1 bill altered to look like a $20 bill!
If the teller's supervisor finds out, I don't think that teller is going
to have a job much longer. Tellers are *supposed* to check each bill
that comes in, at least to make sure that it's the right kind of bill
(the banner on a twenty is distinctly different than that on a one).

However, if we go to multi-color money, people may rely on the color so
much that someone might start passing colored paper for bills. I don't
know what Canada's experience has been with that.
