Broads Friendly Money

Hi everyone, just spotted this online and as far as I'm concerned it's been a long time coming.

British bank notes are switching from paper to polymer. Maybe my money will survive the british boating weather finally.

Hi Branden,

Thank you for the update, Tan mentioned this morning, my reaction was that plastic note was rife for being counterfeited.

As with all of these schemes they always end spending more money than they save. You could say plastic money

If its not broke why fix it!

Regards

All currency is counterfeited eventually so it will be interesting to see what security measures they put in place for the new notes. I can't imagine it will be too far in the future when they completely faze out all money and make it digital.
