Britain will push the new version of plastic notes into an international trend
According to British media reports, the UK plans to introduce a new 10-pound note as early as this month. Jane Austen, author of the world famous book pride and prejudice, is on the back of a 10-pound plastic note. Britain issued five pounds of plastic bills in September last year, and the five-pound note was out of circulation in May. The New England 5-pound, 10-pound note and the forthcoming 20-pound note are all new plastic bills.
Currently, plastic notes are issued in nearly 40 countries and regions such as the UK and Canada. Among them, the circulation currencies of Australia, Singapore and other countries have been replaced by plastic bills. In 2000, our country issued the "welcome new century" 100 yuan plastic commemorative banknotes. According to the two deputy governors of China's central bank, China is ready to issue plastic bills and has a technical basis. The plastic bill, because of its anti-fouling, waterproof, anti-counterfeiting, and not easy to break, etc., the service life is at least 2.5 times the paper money. This will reduce the cost of printing and transportation, as well as reduce energy consumption. Plastic instead of paper as the base material of banknotes is the trend, and the organization predicts the market space of plastic base materials up to 20 billion.
