New Canadian currency melts?

I went to local bank today to exchange U.S. currency for Canadian for our upcoming RV trip through Canada to Alaska. As I was preparing to exit the bank, the teller mentioned to me NOT to leave the new Canadian currency in the glove box of a vehicle or a hot camper because it was made of plastic and it would melt and that would render it unusable and of ZERO value.

Just what I need is a fist full of useless plastic! :E Is it true that these new Canadian bills will melt in hot environments and have any of my fellow RVers had issues with them?

My reading says that they don't melt "easily" as the OP story would indicate.

they said "false"? seems to me that it is only false if you keep it in your pocket at normal temperature. if exposed to high heat it can melt.
