\"\"When the clock officially rolls over into 2021, tens of millions of old Canadian bills will lose their legal tender status, meaning they technically can\u2019t be used in transactions.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Bank of Canada<\/a> has issued a reminder that the change will affect the $1, $2, $25, $500, and $1,000 notes, which haven\u2019t been produced in decades, and are typically not used in transactions, unless of course they\u2019re being bought or sold by collectors.<\/p>\n

So, what should you do if you have a $1,000 bill? The BoC says the simplest thing is to bring the bill to your bank and have it exchanged for legal currency.<\/p>\n

By far, the rarest and arguably most valuable of the soon-to-be-defunct currency is the $500 note, which can sell to a collector at $50,000 in very good condition. But good luck finding one, It was a commemorative note released only in 1935; the BoC says there were only 40 left in circulation at the end of 2019.<\/p>\n

The $25 note was also a commemorative bill issued in 1935 and discontinued shortly thereafter. There are 1,840 in circulation.<\/p>\n

\"\"Oxford English Dictionary<\/a>\"\"\u2019s word of the year, is actually phrases of the year.<\/p>\n

The editors say that when they were deciding on their annual pick for Word of the Year, “It quickly became apparent that 2020 is not a year that could neatly be accommodated in one single word of the year.”<\/p>\n

So instead, they picked dozens of words that sum up, “the phenomenal breadth of language change and development over the year.”<\/p>\n

Those words include: COVID-19, work-from-home, lockdown, support bubbles, essential workers, furlough, Black Lives Matter, mail-in, superspreader, social distancing, QAnon and impeachment.<\/p>\n
