I remember several years ago my friend was showing off his australian currency and how it is a polymer bill. he basically went into how the bill is more durable etc etc, and then he gave it one firm tug to demonstrate and the bill split in half right there and then. i nearly coughed out a spleen laughing so hard!
Polymer bills are fine by me, they generally do last longer than regular paper bills, but i think if the edge has a little tear, its very easy to rip right through the rest of the bill like butter. i am assuming that's what happened to my friend.
