<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiftypee, post: 836926, member: 4700&quot;]Hello all:</p><p><br /></p><p>I have read some posts regarding &quot;plastic coins&quot;.&nbsp; I think plastic coins would last a long time, but I too am not sure if they would work in a vending machine format.&nbsp; I might be wrong, but I thought I read once that vending machine companies didn&#039;t like the idea of using Aluminum coins.&nbsp; I am not sure if it was due to their durability or weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways getting back to plastic coins, I too have seen those &quot;Mil&quot; US state sales tax tokens, and they are still in pretty good shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>Didn&#039;t the Keeling and Cocos Islands use a kind of plastic token currency for awhile that was made out of Kemetal?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways I think the polymer notes will work out well.&nbsp; I remember the first time the Isle of Man came out with its &quot;tear proof&quot; One Pound note.&nbsp; I might be wrong, but that bill was made out of a kind of plastic I believe too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember holding one of them when it was new and it felt different.&nbsp; I also remember holdling one that was well folded and such, and it seemed very plastic like.&nbsp; I am sure plastic bill technology though has improved substantially in the last 27 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t wait for the change over to occur.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fiftypee :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
