Plastic Money

In New Zealand, they recycle their plastic bags and make money out of the recycled plastic. Ok, so I'm pretty sure that's not true, but I do know that their money (at least the notes) really is made out of plastic and I guess it was in Australia too. It feels kind of weird but I guess there are quite a few countries doing this now and Australia was the first to go all plastic about 10 years ago. Australia developed the technology and plastic is much harder to counterfeit than paper. I was tempted to try and stretch it to see if it stretches like regular soft plastic, but I was worried I'd ruin a bill.

Here's a picture. Notice the see through plastic windows with a hologram in them
