Paper money does not last as long as metal, of course this is particularly important today when we want to preserve our limited and precious resources.

Metal coinage does have one drawback however which has to be considered : it is comparatively easy to counterfeit and a well-made metal forgery can be difficult to detect. The limiting factor would be getting enough fake coins into circulation to justify the production expense.

On the other hand, today designers can produce paper money which is so difficult to counterfeit that it almost never succeeds. The so-called "paper" can be part plastic to increase its life span. And when modern technological innovations like special inks, holograms, and micro-photography are added to the designers arsenal, you will realize the counterfeiters face considerable difficulties. They would require the most expensive and modern equipment available, plus a team having considerable and up-to-date knowledge of chemistry, physics, and electronics. Thankfully most villains will not get past the thinking about it stage.

Today's higher-value currencies are produced using these security features and advanced materials, so that you and I and governments everywhere can be confident that our currency is very unlikely to be counterfeited.
