Here in Australia we have a $1 & $2 Coin, they were made into coins in the 1980s (?)

The plastic notes were developed by CSIRO in the 1980s & introduced in the late '80s.

They are easy to fold, personally I quite like them and after having used them for over 20 years I guess I'm more used to them than paper money.
