<p>[QUOTE="beachcombermike, post: 642014, member: 19211"]<span style="color: blue">here in australia we dumped the $1 & $2 notes some years ago in exchange for coins (thank god we did as i'm a detectorist), there was some talk of doing the same for the $5 notes, unfortunately it didn't happen, now all the bank notes are made of polymer ie. plastic. i believe the reason for doing away with the paper bank notes was the very short life of the notes as against coins (months as against years). since the $1 & $2 coins have been in circulation i have found 10,800 x $1 coins and 13,084 x $2 coins up to last month, that's in about 26 years so that's the reason i like them. mike.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
