Plastic banknotes have several advantages over paper banknotes.

- They are much more resilient than paper notes, being very difficult to rip or tear.

- They are waterproof.

- They are much more difficult to forge.

The polymer polypropylene, or to be more accurate biaxially oriented polypropylene, is chosen for use in the manufacture of plastic banknotes both because of polypropylenes resistance to most types of solvents and glues and because of it's resilience.
