The bad thing about polymer notes is that they not worthy much as a collector notes. Only if limited editions are made.

The 1977 cotton notes are now worth around 300 US each . Even the 1985 notes are about 100US .

the "limited edition" 50s is the same material as the 100s, so yes it does crease as well but its just a collection edition.. not like the government made all the 50s the same way like they made the 100s

[wickedtuna]

There's a vid allegedly online a man said he left it by the flow box and it crimp up ....

yeah but not everybody could open an account. i went to open an account about a year ago and the amount of stuff they want i say forget. it also makes no sense keeping my money in the bank almost 0 % interest . i keep my money safe elsewhere.
people like me cannot get job letter because as tradesmen you moving from one job to the next. they want me to register my business as a company and all sorts of crap. fcuk way with them

The hard part i am an existing customer . so i could just imagine for new customers who doh have a job letter or utility bill to their name

And you can see here that polymer notes with the security features are going to be quite difficult to counterfeit (currently). Probably will cost criminals much more to make a fake note that the government does a legit note. The Swiss Franc shown here has a lot more security features than our notes. Seems almost impossible to duplicate all these processes without the specialized and protected equipment and computers at the mint.

Wonder if Darran run a line with he fresh polymer yet

[MaxPower]

Need the name of the Trini that is lying about the polymer note shriveling or some crap so by a Flow box.

Now with the plastic they could wipe and wash off.

[hydroep]

Also, some ladies and gentlemen keep cash in "strategic places" on their person. Imagine what rubbing off on your fingers when handling bills that pass though that...

I tort deh cya copy eet....quite a few fake ones going around already

[maj. tom]

They can attempt to copy it, but it will be a sad, poor attempt. As shown above. The security features in authentic polymer bills make it easy to spot a fake. Good fakes can be made but they cost more than traditional counterfeit lint bills. More equipment required and expertise. The good fakes will eventually hit the market. And then the Government will just add another security feature to make it harder. See the video of the CHf 50 Swiss Franc above. That's miles ahead in security features to our $100 polymer note.

how they copying the clear plastic window ?
