Plastic money is the future, just like plastic everything else. I'm assuming it's made of Tyvek or simlar, the polymer that the USPS priority mail envelopes is made out of...Tyvek is awesome stuff.

According to wikipedia, Australian currency is made out of polypropylene. Also, apparently 7 countries have switched over to polymer bank notes, presumably making Canada the eighth.
The extra change doesn't bother me, but I'm trying to avoid using plastic since there's been a rash of card fraud issues in southern Ontario lately. It's centered around the Windsor area, but I'm still using one of the old bank cards without the chip, so I figure I ought to be careful just the same.
