Commemorating rather than celebrating?
It's hard to see an argument against plastic notes and this journalist doesn't seem to have one. Poor show from the Independent.

Great idea especially when you forget to take them out of your pocket before washing your trousers.

Maybe Egypt and a few other Middle East countries should switch to plastic money considering they stuff their paper money down the front of their underwear. At least tourists could clean all money they receive...

I'm just looking forward to the 1p and 2p to go the way of the 1/2p.
The 5p is the equivilent to the old 1/2p.

I hope so, I accumulated a £100 of coppers and needed a wheelbarrow the other day to transport it to a Coin Star.
It felt like I was in old Russia buying a loaf of bread
1/2p ? I'm still smarting over the scrapping of the ha'penny.
And I'd still like to get my hands around some threepenny bits.

i'm as patriotic as the next man (or probably more than some round here), but i find this a bit off. Its not really a war to celebrate, or commemorate for that matter, it was a pretty meaningless waste of a generation.

The penny is purely symbolic now anyway, even a penny sweet costs more than that these days.

Pathetic post, I guess none of your relatives were 'patriotic' and died saving us from the Germans then,... What did they do during the War?
The Kitchener coin is superb and a great tribute to those brave souls that gave their lives for us

First sight of plastic notes earlier this year in Toronto and very impressed as well and easy to handle and count.

Yep it is probably worth less than the zinc it's made from.
