<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 829605, member: 17665"]Doubtful that plastic coins would work well in vending machines tho, too light I would think and just about anyone could probably copy them quite easily. But plastic or Tyvek bills are an intresting thought. Tyvek would be nearly impossible to tear and would probably work well in machines. Someone should let our BEP know about plastic bills also. Probably last a lot longer than the expected 18 month expected by our current paper money.</p><p> Canada sure got it right with taking out of circulation $1 and $2 bills to insure the use of their $1 and $2 coins. The only thing keeping Crane Paper going is the ridiculous contracts they continue to get from our government for the paper they produce for our currency. I thought that there was not supposed to be a monopoly on any one product like they have?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
