Interestingly the new polymer notes are made (or licensed) from Australia, who has had the notes since 1994, and make polymer notes for all the countries using plastic money (there are about 5 at the moment, including Vietnam and New Zealand). Of course Australians invented the plastic notes so they could go surfing with their wallets.
