"Is this the end of paper banknotes? Plastic version
could be in your pocket in just three years
Overhaul could see environmentally-friendly
notes introduced from 2015
Have proved a success since being introduced
in Australia in 1988
Plastic lasts much longer and are more
hygienic but more expensive to make"

I think plastic would be better because some of the notes are so old and torn :yuk: I never like giving them to customers as change

But Josy the Five Pound Note
wears out in just 6months use.

The New Plastic Five Pound note will last

But we wont be able to fold it, or fit into a small purse/wallet when we don't want to carry huge ones.

ONLY for fives? Seems a bit strange. I'd like it if it was for all notes, but then again I think cash should be abolished and use cards only.
