Sticking with paper would maybe be more eco friendly but the change to plastic notes is probably a good idea. There's almost always complaints of counterfeit money in the UK, especially where I live. Plus, paper money always rips and if you have a note in your pocket and then sweat, it kind of ruins your money. I'm kind of on both sides here, if it happens, it happens. I'm not really that bothered either way!

This would be great,although I just like it how you can quickly fold a tenner into your pocket

Just seen this on the news, hopefully i wont loose these like i lose the current ones-.- I think these will be better can stop fraud and much more!

Zero_Point_Five wrote Well... considering that having MORE stuff made out of plastics/polymers will just make resources run out quicker this is a GREAT move by the government

Stick with cotton paper... surely its more eco friendly?

Plastic could never truly run out...


EDIT: Technically this would also be more Eco friendly, due to the fact you aren't supposed to throw money away so it wouldnt be like people littering plastic..
