Article Abstract:
Canadian Tire Corp is considering replacing its popular paper 'funny' money with an electronic version. While the decision makes sense, the retailer ought to remember the experience of Coca-cola when it changed its formula to create a better tasting cola in 1985. Canadian Tire money has become so ingrained in Canadian culture after more than 40 years in circulation. There are practical reasons to retain the paper money besides consumers' emotional attachment to the 'currency.'
