"Plastic Money" gets new meaning


KWP

Recommended Posts

Did you think plastic money refers to credit cards?

Since 1st July 2007 this term refers also to cash - at least in Hong Kong.

In the former British Crown Colony you can pay with HK$10 (ca. Euros 10) Banknotes that are completely made of plastic and feature the latest security measures including a transparent area.

OK, I'm a moron.

It's the Northern Ireland fiver.

 

I thought since NI money was similar to mainland money that it wasn't plastic and that the memory of plastic money I had from being over there was from the currency I used in Eire but it wasn't.

There was a limited issue of plastic fivers in 1999 in NI.

Sorry, didn't know there were others long before, was so amazed I just assumed it must be the first one. "Sale" is right of course, it's about 1 Euro, was a typo. I will perform a flexibility, rip and burning test later.
