I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure this is also why most Japanese Yen notes are so crisp and new feeling compared to the soggy used-tissue-paper feeling I get from so many others. Thai currency as well is pretty durable and obviously plastic.
- ramchip 17y agoI don't think so, actually. I can tear them with my fingers easily, and they feel like paper. I think it's just part of the culture to pay respect to daily items. I've never seen someone in Japan fold (even just in half) a paper bill, and they're often given with two hands, or at least rather carefully.
- redcap 17y agoThe vast majority of paper bills I get handed here in Japan have clean folds down the middle and often at the 1/4 mark as well. I guess it might have to do with how some people just carry around a fold of bills rather than carry them in a wallet.
