You could view cotton notes as providing job opportunities :P
But still: I’d rather waste five times as many cotton notes than have even more plastic going around and being lost. At least lost cotton decays, whereas lost plastic will just stay around forever.
You ever have to clean anything that works with cotton bills? All that oil and dirt on your grubby hands is in those bills. Polymer bills don’t absorb anything and unlike other plastics they do get collected and recycled (you know since they are money). And the dies and chemicals needed to make those cotton bills? Yeah not good.
Nah, I’m all for cotton for money bills. While they don’t last very long, it’s better than more plastic shit 100% of the time.
As someone who had to fix the bank machines during both cotton and polymer, you are 100% crazy. Cotton notes are nasty and wasteful.
