No but I believe my nation's money is printed on a cotton product(Canada) ... or it may be a cotton-wood blend. What nation uses polymer plastic?

Thanks for your answer. To be honest it sounds wasteful to me.

plastic money last longer. So they don't have to replace them so often, save money.

Maybe the money stays in circulation longer, but it stays in the landfill for longer too ... like, for forever. And plastic production is pretty toxic to the environment. I think I'd be upset if my government switched to plastic money: I've been trying to drastically reduce the amount of plastic I use in my life. I know it isn't always cut and dry, and overall it's not like they're murdering people!! So it's not like a big deal but I just wouldn't like it, myself.
