<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2875452, member: 4373&quot;]Cotton banknotes are much easier to be counterfeited. Polymer banknotes are nearly indestructible (with the exception of heat) and they do last a lot longer in circulation. Banknotes in Australia easily last 10 - 20 years in circulation. Cotton rarely last that long. Worn out polymer notes are actually recycled contrary to popular beliefs. Polymer notes are much cheaper in the long term. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only exception where polymer notes were withdrawn from circulation is from Thailand as the high heat / humidity causes the banknotes to become sticky, making them harder to count.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
