Polymer banknotes are banknotes made from a synthetic polymer, such as biaxially oriented polypropylene, rather than traditional paper. They incorporate advanced security features, such as metameric inks and transparent windows, which make them highly resistant to counterfeiting. Additionally, polymer notes are significantly more durable than paper notes, resulting in a longer lifespan, reduced environmental impact, and lower replacement costs.
