Also "Australia produced the first polymer banknote made from biaxially-oriented polypropylene (plastic), and in 1996 became the first country to have a full set of circulating polymer banknotes of all denominations." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_banknote
I am surprised more countries havent changed to this. It would save the USA a lot in reprinting I'm sure. Polymer notes last a lot longer.
Singapore has them. I agree they're VERY hard to fold. >.>
