polymer that is.
The Bank of England is seeking consultations and public opinion on converting our banknotes to polymer based ones. Are you in favour of this proposal or not - my vote is a 'yes' TC. polymer proposal

Did we talk about this before? Perhaps I imagined it.
I've handled Australian banknotes, which are polymer, and they're fine. I'm all for it if there's a chance our money will be less prone to picking up millions of bacteria and faecal matter.

Last December I believe the subject was aired, however consumers have the chance to give an opinion directly to the Bank. TC.

When I heard about this on the news, I just found myself wondering why the Bank of England has taken so long to get around to producing plastic notes.

It'll just make 'money laundering' a whole lot easier ... as the plastic notes will come-up-a-treat ... on a low temperature 20c degrees [machine] wash ... and without the need for any fabric conditioner, too.
I'm gonna give those plastic notes the thumbs up!

I do get a bit nostalgic for some of the older notes, but the world must move on, and just as I didn't really like it when the old style notes all shrank to the current Monopoly money size, I could see the good reasoning behind it. This is the same for me, I'm sure I'll be nostalgic about paper money, but I think it will be a practical improvement.
I'm in.

Joking aside I think plastic is the way forward but why only fives and tens. I also think we should by now have a £100 note as does Scotland.
