I live in Australia and the notes do last longer. They are easy to clean ( just wash it in the kitchen with tap water and clothe and ready to spend!!!!) I like the many colours and design on the bank notes. it does make it different to other currencies around the world!!!

[@markdrennan5723]

These bank note were developed by the Australian CSIRO, Commonwealth Science Industry Research Organisation in Australia we have had them since the 1980's.

I don't think we'll have a totally cashless society. We'd still need physical cash in the event of a disaster or if we can't access our accounts for whatever reason.

[@IglooDweller]

The different colours also make it easy to tell what their value is from just a glance.

[@shnxii17]

No matter how advanced and digitized we get, a cashless society will never exist. Currency is the face of a country, it is what represents the values and culture of a nation, so scrapping it would be like tossing away a piece of national identity.

A cashless society, slow down there mate, I’m still waiting to see the paperless office.

[@jakegargiulo5101]

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

You missed a point: if it's the same as Canadian money then it's antiseptic, too.

[@ajx9747]

Is it made up of biodegradable polymer

[@grahamrothphotography]

Simular to Canada's new bills

[@shadowfan982]

one problem is that they stick together

[@saikiranrao194]

Frankly previous generation notes looked better

[@prata6938]

[@Alluminati666]

[@TwistLosi]

And some retail stores won't accept them now, fucking joke.

Why the $100 Australian Dollar Banknotes are pretended to be rarely used
