We've had these for a couple of years now, just a heads up.
If you're in the habit, of folding them and putting them in you pocket. They slide out very easy, I found $320 just the other day. Where somebody got out of the car and the cash just fell to the floor.
Also, they stick together more than new paper money

I don't think it will be long before cash is abolished.

I can't see cash being scrapped as not everyone can have or is allowed to have a bank account. I agree it's being used less but I never use any form of card in what I deem to be a dodgy shop.

I was just wondering how long would it be, before, the Notes we have stashed ,will become illegal ( and have no value)?

We've had plastic money for ages. It doesn't stretch any further.
