[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2291518, member: 39"]Ah, but in the UK you will soon have polymer notes which also allow cool features. :) The euro bills are still cotton based, but the new ones have a lacquer layer. Makes them somewhat more durable without that "plastic feeling" that some people do not like when it comes to polymer. What I do not like about the euro notes is the sizes, and they did/will not change with the new generation. It makes a lot of sense to have different dimensions for different denominations, but a varying width would work fine. Different heights, meh ... Side note: If you ever come across a new euro note with an "H" or "J" as the first character of the serial number, well, that is a British one. ;) Not made [I]for[/I] the UK of course, but made [I]by[/I] De La Rue in Loughton (H) or Gateshead (J).
