Love the Aussie plastic money, makes life easier as they're far more durable. (And harder to counterfeit.)
Australia was also the first country with plastic bank notes, starting in 1988 with the $10 note.

I remember years ago, I used to always have a habit of leaving my money in my jeans and having it go through the wash... Then I had to chuck it in the oven to dry it out a bit.
Plastic... Just wipe and it's fine.
Plus... Our plastic notes are very colorful which is never a bad thing, helps people recognize the worth just from the colours, and the blind can "feel" the notes to see the value because of the indentations in the plastic window.
