In the UK all bank notes have traces of cocaine on them.
In Canada, it's maple Syrup
Actually, the bank notes don't smell like maple syrup. When you hold the bank note up to your nose, you are just smelling your own Canadian fingers! All Canadians smell like maple syrup. It's why we're so sweet.
And that combined with the typical degree of kleptomania experienced by most Canadians is where we get the expression "Sticky Fingered"
I am Canadian, and I may or may not have shoplifted, but I am completely unaware of this being in any way typical Canadian behaviour. I'd say a good 75% of people I talk to about shoplifting react somewhat negatively.
Your sense of irony rivels an American.
This is unironically exactly what happens with coins. The metal has no smell at all but skin oil reacts with it to give it a scent when you handle it.
