Polymer Banknotes:
Australia leads the world in polymer banknote technology, which has been very successful in the reduction of note forgery, due to the added security features incorporated into each note. Features such as a distinctive transparent window, shadow images, embossed printing and the use of special inks all make counterfeiters very wary indeed.
Fact: When polymer banknotes are replaced, they are recycled into a variety of everyday plastics.
