I have earned that australian currency now is made from plastic film. So it will be more tough and best of all water proof. But beware if you accidentally iron it what could have happen. hehehehe

You see it has many advantages. You can wash it with water. You can swim in water with these currencies in your pocket. If you go out and suddenly rained, there will be no problem with Plastic currencies. Paper currencies have big potential in spreading communicable diseases such as swine flue etc. But with Plastic currencies it has less potential, because you can wash it with water. It has very less chances that you would accidentally iron it. I am sure you will never forget to keep it in safe place. Because it is money.

Every currency has its own advantages and disadvantages. If we mistakenly iron it, yes the plastic would melt off. But what about paper cvurrency. If we unknowingly put our clothes for wash or dry cleaning with paper currency in it, there would not even be a trace of the paper currency. Hence in that case, I think plastic has only few disadvantages when compared to paper currency and I wish in my country too the plastic currency must be implemented soon. Thanks for starting this discussion and have a great day. Happy Mylotting. Cheers:-)

Accidentally putting paper currency on a washing machine will not deteriorate. It's still usable in our country but not a very pleasant condition. Since almost all paper currencies are made of fabric that looks like paper.

I am not from Australia and never touched a single currency from Australia. But few month back I have seen in news that Australian currency is more secure than most of the currencies in the world. You see most of the fake currencies are made of paper currencies. But Australian dollars are made of plastics. It has many advantages. You can swim. Go out in rain. Washed with water. Paper currency has big potential of spreading diseases. But paper currency has no such threat. Happy mylotting!
