	About me All Banknotes Bad Traders Brief history of Polymer Banknotes Fake Error Polymer Note Hybrid Banknotes			Due to the inpending closure of Yahoo GeoCities free web site by end of the year, I have now established a new site to display my collection. Please feel free to view my collection at http://worldpolymernotes.blogspot.com.
				Welcome to my website! Update June 2009
				The purpose of this site is to promote the collection of polymer banknotes. Here you will be able to view my entire collection, including some of the Tyvek and Bradvek notes issued in the early 1980s. This site is updated as and when new notes are acquired. Please note that the information posted on this site have not been thoroughly investigated or confirmed by any issuing authorities. As I do not consider myself as an expert in polymer banknotes collection, if you spotted any errors on this site, please contact me and I will update it accordingly. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter. Sometime you might wonder how much would it costs to print a single banknote. On average, the cost for printing is less than 10 cents per banknote. However the lifespan of a banknote depends on its denomination. Typically, the average life of a small denomination, on average, was found to be less than a year. The cost of printing and servicing these notes was not commensurate with their life. And not surprisingly, we see many of these low denominations notes are replaced by coins. Needless to say, many countries are looking at improving the lifespan of their banknotes by turning to polymer substrate instead of the traditionally cotton pulp materials. When Australia first switched to polymer notes in the early 90s, the plastic banknotes cost twice as much to produce but they last four times longer, which have significant saving in the long run. Since 1992, many countries have released polymer banknotes. Some released them as commemorative issues whilst others opt for just those low denomination values. To day only six countries (Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea & Brunei) have fully converted all its banknotes to polymer. As a collector, I am always interested to improve my collections. If you have any notes to offer for exchange especially those new/current issues, please feel free to contact me.
