RE: Philippine Polymer Banknote Series: An Ordinary Citizen's Point of View

in Hive PH13 hours ago (edited)

That's an interesting take! For me, these polymer notes are harder to fake, which is a big pro for security and prevention of fraud. Based on my work, I can say these polymer notes are really great, but you're right that they need extra care, as they can be prone to creasing or tearing if mishandled. Not just that, but when these polymer notes are folded, it's so hard to flatten them back again, honestly 😭😭. They become so difficult to make plain and flat again. But yeahhh, on the bright side, polymer notes are also more durable and resistant to water compared to paper notes, which is a huge advantage in everyday use. All of us just need proper education on handling these notes so that we can preserve their quality over time.

Anyways, I think there's nothing bad at all about replacing or, should I say, removing rather the national heroes in the polymer notes, because after all, the new design showcases our biodiversity, and it's honoring our natural treasures. It's actually understandable, but as for me, perhaps a good balance would do, ate Marf. So, okayyyy ra since in circulation man gihapon ang old banknotes.
