Sounds awesome. But then money will lose its distinctive smell.

Good. I hear it's harmful.

Plastic is more harmful why switch to using more to plastic?  Unless it is bio degradable plastic because regular plastic is pretty damn bad for the environment.  I get pissed at bottle water.  I'll get pissed at this.  Sure people won't just throw this plastic away but eventually it will have to.  Recycling plastics still produces toxins. 

You are aware that people don't throw away money, right? (at least not literally in the trash)

Eventually they will have to retire the plastic money just like they do with regular bills (the plastic would last longer but I am sure they would still take it out of the money supply either due to new counterfeiting techniques/etc).  Hemp sounds like a good enough material for me.
