+Random Person I like how they line up. And I'm use to the green on back and black in front, last 2 decades the bills have drifted to have some color. I did notice as I have $10, $20, $50 (the $1 are old design as always), I feel no braille, so they're probably not great with blind, my uncle is blind, I think he had an Ibill reader, but like we all do, uses debit/credit card more often than cash.
+Random Person Trust me, the plastic "shit" is the future. We have them in Romania since early 2000's and hated them at first. Couldn't understand why we had to change, but after we changed we learned there was a lot of advantages of plastic money. First of all, it's extremely hard and very expensive to counterfeit them. Second of all, you can have money on you while going to the beach and go into water (pool bars, beach bars in water etc) with no worries about them getting wet. And third, they actually look good a longer time than old paper money. Plus now the polymer is much better quality and more durable than in the early years. They don't crack so easily anymore. I got so attached to the polymer that I now feel odd while counting euros or other paper currencies while traveling.
***** That's not why it's the future, duh! I was just telling you that I have used plastic money since a lot of time so I know the ups and downs. It's a different structure in the polymer. The plastic used in LEGO is different than the one used in cars interiors, ain't it? You will get used to it and love it, too. More and more countries will make the change.
Britain released its first polymer note in 2016 with the $5 note, we (Australia), released our first polymer notes in 1988. Our third generation polymer notes began with the release of the $5 note in 2016, with our $10 note due for release on 20th Sep 2017. Took ya long enough Britain, but at least we can all agree that Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand (among others) are all way ahead of the US.
Chelsea May, the new British notes are using licenced Australian CSIRO polymer technology from the 1980s. In fact Australian bank notes are now 3rd generation, and the design looks much better and easier to recognise compared to the British notes. Australian $5 and $10 notes now even have Braille embossed for the blind and 21 counterfeit technology embedded in each one.
Best thing we ever did with our money, notes left in the wash never get mashed to a pulp and come out clean as the day they were made! Great for any weather.
CandyLove3516 Yeah yoou Aussies are so loud and obnoxious and in your face.......gotta be bigger and better than everyone else............. Oh no, thats not you.........thats the other country Im thinking about.
Fuck me, why is this even being treated like a 'new thing'. Australia's had polymer notes since 1992. We fucking own this shit. Why does the UK wanna consult the people? Just make polymer notes FFS! Its a no-brainer.
That has never been a problem with Bank of England paper notes. Throughout many years, I often have had Bank of England paper notes laundered when forgetting to empty pockets.
bluewolfe96 yeah we did, Australia should be proud of that, proud of the fact that we are using it? I know what you mean though it is stupid that they didn't mention where it come from
"UK's bank notes" *thumbnail has Australian dollars. Me as an Australian, TRIGGERED. Yes, I know Australia is a colony of the British. I wasn't born under a rock.
"Was" a colony of the British Australia became independent in 1901 and the last essence of British influence on Australia at a federal level and as a whole was abolished in 1986 in the Australia Act.
Jamaica and Barbados are the latest countries to switch to polymer banknotes on their currency. Egypt has already released their new £10 polymer banknote.
As an Australian I can confidently say we definitely have the best money in the world. Firstly, they're all equally distinguishable from one another as each ($5, $10, $20, $50, $100) all have distinct colours and size. Also the notes are all waterproof (you'll often find a 20 dollar note at the bottom of your washing machine after a wash), great structural integrity; they're wear and tear proof (they literally don't rip, not even if you purposely try to tear them), and safe from counterfeiting because of the materials they use and the windows which are impossible to replicate. American money has literally none of those things, some other currencies like UK and Canadian notes tick some of those boxes, but Australian notes are the only ones to tick them all.
Here in Australia we went from ACTUAL paper NOT cotton paper to plastic. We have recently upgraded to ones with a heap of holographic bits UV bits and a big clear patch. If you go under UV light you'll see the year it was printed light up.
I have not found a problem with that I don't miss penny's either I just wish I was able to collect more then I did before they were taken out of circulation.
I lived in Australia in 2001-02 and the plastic bank notes are so much better. You don't have to worry about damaging them, whether it's the washing machine the video mentioned or if you get some beer on them, or you can go surfing with them in your pocket. Plastic is definitely better.
They have done a FANTASTIC job with these. In days gone by, a watermark and a bit of foil on paper money would have been enough deter the would be casual counterfeiter, but with technological improvements in digital printing and shared knowledge on the internet, anyone with a bit of determination can counterfeit any paper note. But with this, I wouldn't even know where to start. If there was no transparent window, its a piece of piss, counterfeit as usual, spray with plastic coating. Job done. And they knew that, hence the transparent window. Its the watermark of modern day. That one thing thats going to be very difficult to pull of convincingly.
when i came to the uk from aus I was honestly shocked that they still used shitty paper money. customers at work complain that the new 5 pound notes feel cheap and I'm like, are you retarded? this IS money? that other shit is just paper ffs haha. i have lived my whole life with polymer notes and i didn't even know this washing machine thing was a thing. paper money is archaic
i from canada, been using those polymers bills for a while now, the only thing i dont like about them, is when u get pop, even water on them, they stick together!!! so hard to count them after.... :/
+docatomics most nations print some of their Money in Germany and only buy the Minimum number of expensive printig presses to replace damaged notes in circulation over time. that's the best way to save Money and get acces to otherwise secrete printing Technology Germany wouldn't give away.
p.s. we dont say paying with plastic. nobody says that. we say folding and shrapnel for notes and coins respectively. but not plastic. yours truly, from straya
i live in australian and i think its great that the notes are plastic but my issue i see is if england or any country makes the switch then you are doubling the money that is already in the system, whats happening to all the old wealth-less money. i do understand the all money is wealth-less already... just a point i would like to bring up :)
As I understand it, banks are made part of the transaction. How it is done is the banks (as in banks you go to) they collect the older notes, retain them, and have to trade them for new ones. It is a one for one trade, there is no extra money created. At least this is how it has been done in Mexico, and we have had plenty of changes, since the late 80s and 90s was a time of great devaluations over and over again. We even had a 0 (zero) removed from our pesos. So things that would cost 10 pesos would then cost 1 peso, and so on. It is just a strategic move, the economy remained the same. In this time the we had 3 types of currency for a couple of years. We had the old pesos, then they issued a Npeso which stands for New Peso, and they released bills and coin with the zero removed (I guess you can consider it a decimal point move). We had those circulating for some years together. Then they started retaining the peso and only Npesos would be on the streets. Eventually after some time they issued pesos again, with the Npeso value number on it (1 instead of 10) yet they removed the N from it. These are the ones we now have. Then maybe in like 2002 or 2005 they started issuing polymer notes, another change. There was no value change this time. That only happened because in 1994 we had an awful devaluation that rocketed prices to millions of pesos, so it just made it easier. So new notes does not mean more money. At leas in Mexico's experience. :)
Notes, as mentioned in the video, do wear out. Worn or broken notes can be turned into to central banks, who then recycle or destroy them. So "new" currency is being made all the time, as "old" currency is destroyed. Remember...the actual note and coins are pretty much worthless: they *represent* a set amount of currency. They're not actually creating "more" money...unless you're Germany in the 20s or Zimbabwe now...
Do you often let you money sunbath? I know I don't I live in Canada the new bills are pretty good and the fact that they can survive washing machines or plunges into the lake are very good things, ordinary money burns so that's not really an issue and unless you sun bath your money I don't see any issues with that either.Your comment seems very odd I must say.
I support the move to polymer notes, the only problem I had is that they don't fold. So if your don't use a wallet, you cannot fold it and put it in your pocket without a money clip or something.
They fold perfectly fine actually. Perhaps not a brand-new note, but once it gets used a bit, they lose some of their resistance to folding. Just fold it and stick a book on it for 5 mins or something.
Connor Robertson you can always use a bobby pin. I always keep one in my hair although I'm a guy in case of any emergencies. Sometimes I even bring 2 or 3
for one you are completely wrong, they easily fold and they can go in money clip, we do that it's how things work, it just not going to stay folded when you release the pressure. There is a reason for this, the majority of counterfeit notes don't unfold once the pressure is released, its the simplest check in the world for cashiers, does the note unfold, no, ok then its a fake.
Meh, I live in Northern Ireland which is apart of the UK, and I work in retail. We don't use English notes that much. I want to make a video for retailers here about the different bank notes you'll find in the UK. Most shops in the UK don't accept Scottish or Irish pound notes just because they think that they're fake, but they're perfectly legitimate to use.
USA lacks that difficulty. no matter where in the country the note is made it is legit. for example, my dollar bills could come from different places on the country. it's interconnected.
Sam Sitar and thus just about almost any other country in the world. Heck even eurocoins have different design, depending on the country which issues them, but they're all good in all euro countries. The problem with the currency system in the UK is that apart from England and Wales, Sterling notes are issued by several private banks and their designs are not standardised either. Because most people outside Scotland and N. Ireland are not familiar with these banknotes, they are often refused, thinking they're fake.
Toot Woot: Notes issued by the various banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland authorized to do so are, in fact, not legal tender in England and Wales. Their use and acceptance in England and Wales will be by personal agreement between vendor and vendee. Even then, although the notes issued by the various banks in Scotland authorized to do so are legal currency in Scotland they are not legal tender and thus another personal agreement between the parties. Same applies to notes issued by the two banks in Northern Ireland authorized to do so: they are legal currency but not legal tender, and so yet-another personal agreement required.
This is a great idea, I was always finding ruined money mangled washed in clothes, the new money will be lasting longer and also unable to tear I only wish that we could get rid of the dirty yucky coins and have plastic paper pennies, five pence, ten pence, twenty pence, twenty five pence exc... money instead
The Haunted Butterfly: Or, better still, chocolate coins covered in gold and silver foil. Saves buying a bar of chocolate, although there is the risk of eating all the coins before buying anything else.....and what with the new, polymer five-pound notes and the new, polymer ten-pound notes containing animal products there won't be any need to go shopping for food. Incidentally, there is no twenty-five pence coin currently in circulation within the United Kingdom and so perhpas you meant the fifty-pence coin....and don't forget the penny and the tuppence.
If you can find those polymer uk bank notes he was holding, I bet they're worth a lot to a collector, as they're the older design and were never released in polymer.
If I get done for treason those who made "spitting image" should have been sent to the tower of London. Watch spitting image on TH-cam. Don't ya agree.
Alexander Ryan first used in australia because our people would chew the bank notes as a habit...(australian thing).. worked well but here is probably no point using them in england....they dont chew their notes over there i dont think

Ian H HI - we are getting them in UK soon - I think Scotland already has polymer £5 notes (bills). But eventually all of UK is getting them - tell me, what do they feel like. is it just like a plastic film ( 100% plastic) or is it paper with a slightly more plasticy feel than before?

Meh, I live in Northern Ireland which is apart of the UK, and I work in retail. We don't use English notes that much. I want to make a video for retailers here about the different bank notes you'll find in the UK. Most shops in the UK don't accept Scottish or Irish pound notes just because they think that they're fake, but they're perfectly legitimate to use.
USA lacks that difficulty. no matter where in the country the note is made it is legit. for example, my dollar bills could come from different places on the country. it's interconnected.
Sam Sitar and thus just about almost any other country in the world. Heck even eurocoins have different design, depending on the country which issues them, but they're all good in all euro countries. The problem with the currency system in the UK is that apart from England and Wales, Sterling notes are issued by several private banks and their designs are not standardised either. Because most people outside Scotland and N. Ireland are not familiar with these banknotes, they are often refused, thinking they're fake.
+Toot Woot and what about euros since the rest of ireland uses them?
Toot Woot: Notes issued by the various banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland authorized to do so are, in fact, not legal tender in England and Wales. Their use and acceptance in England and Wales will be by personal agreement between vendor and vendee. Even then, although the notes issued by the various banks in Scotland authorized to do so are legal currency in Scotland they are not legal tender and thus another personal agreement between the parties. Same applies to notes issued by the two banks in Northern Ireland authorized to do so: they are legal currency but not legal tender, and so yet-another personal agreement required.
México has it too....
Why is the narrator shouting?
Sam Brown: Maybe he's talking to someone some distance away.....
OK
Can't wait to deface the new five pound notes. Can they survive paint? Nope!
This is a great idea, I was always finding ruined money mangled washed in clothes, the new money will be lasting longer and also unable to tear I only wish that we could get rid of the dirty yucky coins and have plastic paper pennies, five pence, ten pence, twenty pence, twenty five pence exc... money instead
Coins last a deal longer. That's why they are used.
if Australia still used paper notes I would have lost 1000s of dollars by now
The Haunted Butterfly: Or, better still, chocolate coins covered in gold and silver foil. Saves buying a bar of chocolate, although there is the risk of eating all the coins before buying anything else.....and what with the new, polymer five-pound notes and the new, polymer ten-pound notes containing animal products there won't be any need to go shopping for food. Incidentally, there is no twenty-five pence coin currently in circulation within the United Kingdom and so perhpas you meant the fifty-pence coin....and don't forget the penny and the tuppence.
If you can find those polymer uk bank notes he was holding, I bet they're worth a lot to a collector, as they're the older design and were never released in polymer.
i like to draw a moustache on the queen upper lip i hope i can do this with these notes. otherwise my life shall be pointless.
You know that probably counts as treason in some odd way?
If I get done for treason those who made "spitting image" should have been sent to the tower of London. Watch spitting image on TH-cam. Don't ya agree.
We've been using those for over a decade in Mexico.
Yes, but we ( Australia) Invented them, using them before Meixco
Alexander Ryan Thats nothing my dads used to be a profesional boxer and my brother knows karate.
My third cousin on my mom's side can ride a bike with no hands.
Alexander Ryan first used in australia because our people would chew the bank notes as a habit...(australian thing).. worked well but here is probably no point using them in england....they dont chew their notes over there i dont think
I live in Canada and I absolutely hate the new polymer notes. They feel very cheap to me, like paying with a piece of a plastic bag
Ian H Counting them is confusing because they stick and don't feel right in your hand.
Expatriate American First of in australia our notes aren't sticky. Plus they are hard to tear apart so stop complaining since our Australia money are way more durable than your england notes
They stick. I work at a bank and have to count your crappy currency at least once a week.
Expatriate American Then why even work at the bank like dafuq?????? But what ever its your opinion so I'd let it be... *Sees the word twit*... What am I the Mr twit and your the mrs twit???
Ian H HI - we are getting them in UK soon - I think Scotland already has polymer £5 notes (bills). But eventually all of UK is getting them - tell me, what do they feel like. is it just like a plastic film ( 100% plastic) or is it paper with a slightly more plasticy feel than before?
5 seconds in a microwave will melt the hologram.
+disasterpastor12e16 2 seconds over a flame will burn a paper note... I still don't think very many people microwave, or burn, their wallets.
+disasterpastor12e16 Why the fuck would it ever be in the microwave...
Can confirm microwaving Australian notes does nothing. Not really surprising when you consider how microwaves work.
I made plastic bills and I have the bill I made to prove it
Plastic is better it won’t wipe 😂👍🏻
Looking forward to plastic toilet paper.
its about time, my country has been doing this forever (au)
