<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1642433, member: 39&quot;]Interesting that the 2 reais note has a longer average lifespan than the fiver. By and large, the lower the value of a note, the sooner it needs to be replaced. Here are some <a href="http://www.bundesbank.de/Redaktion/EN/Bilder/Grafiken/average_life_banknotes.jpg?__blob=poster" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bundesbank.de/Redaktion/EN/Bilder/Grafiken/average_life_banknotes.jpg?__blob=poster" rel="nofollow">figures</a> for the euro area, partly extrapolated of course. One possible &quot;remedy&quot; for low denomination notes, especially with tropical climates, is to use polymer. Here in &quot;Euroland&quot;, the new generation notes will have an extra protective layer. That also means the new €5 note for example weighs 0.71 g (instead of 0.63 g). Hope it will live a little longer than a ladybird. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
