World Polymer Banknotes

An Ongoing Collection

Since Australia introduced the first polymer banknote in 1988, dozens of countries have adopted this plastic substrate for its greater durability and for security features such as transparent windows. This section gathers polymer specimens from different nations, unconstrained by the thematic limits of the catalog’s other collections.
