Made of plastic? How does it go in thy pocket? D:

Not stiff plastic...

Our notes are plastic.. probably been that way for at least 10 years? someone had a stack of $20 notes in their pocket and put it in the washing machine by accident, after the washing, all the notes are still intact, in fact it was probably cleaner than before LOL!

Yeah I read Australia has had them for quite some time...

At least when they implement these new bills I wouldn't have to worry about getting that one crappy looking bill. If it looks bad just wash it? Lol

They need to update saudi riyal :C.

eh isnt it like... not the wisest decision to mass produce more plastic crap when we're trying to conserve plastic and such?

Not if the plastic will not become a waste..

Actually I don't know what they do to old money.. does the bank regularly take the grubby ones away and destroy them and the Govt print new ones?

I think the banks give the old money to govt and they recycle it?

I don't think anyone is going to be throwing away their money. At least not in a literal sense.
