I found out tonight that we print the polymer money for these countries:
Bangladesh, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Indonesia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Romania, Western Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.

I vote we hang on to it all and sell it on at face value!

You print the plastic money and we strike their coins.

The US has been calling Canadian paper money Monolopy money for years. Most places other than tourist traps won't even look at it. I don't blame them. As long as they realise that we (Canadians) can do the same thing.

Teamed up we could rip them off something chronic. Hey Canada. Want your money back? Pay up!

All of our 'paper money' is now plastic. The new 5's just came out 5,10,20,50,and 100 all plastic.

You've seen those little raised dots on the Canadian paper money? (Braille)
They are there because the blind got tired of being ripped off. Hey buddy, 'is this a ten? No, it's a one.'

Paper money is I.O.U's for the lame person its not money and now they are going to replace real money (coins) with plastic. The Banking industry must be pissing their pants saying look at those jokers falling for another con.

The Tories have managed to sell us the idea of a 12 sided £1 coin.

Probably at about £1.20 each.

We've had Braille numbers on our paper money for decades by now and the notes have different sizes. (was already like that when we still had the D-Mark

)
