Here in the UK our £5, and £10 notes have all changed to polymer.
The £20s will change to polymer in February 2020, and the £50 in 2021.
The polymer notes are neater and tidier and will last far longer than the paper ones, but they are slippy and don't like being folded.
Obviously they are all different sizes and colours and braille details.
I'm so old that I remember my Father's roll of White Fivers (about A5 in size), and worth about a week's wages for most back in the 1950s.
They looked like this - 1st minute will do ya.
edit : I've got some US dollar bills hanging on my wall here Ones and twenties. All the same size but can't find any braille - how to blind folks manage with these?
