If all what infofarmer is saying is actually true than we gave a jackpot here  Cool
Shit looks awesome, at least in description. If this won't make BTC worldwide and approachable for anyone than I don't know what will.
I wonder what will happen with btc inside those notes when one gets destroyed, for example by washing machine?
Bitcoins are going to be lost as I presume? Some central banks allow to exchange broken fiat for brand new ones, can it be somehow done with those? Also what is the actual material used to make them? Ordinary paper or something bit more durable?

Thank you! Smiley

The current first production batch is made from the very expensive Melinex PETF by Dupont Teijin Films. It's a thinner–than–usual plastic card that is virtually indestructible. We haven't tested, but it might easily survive a thousand full cycles in a washing machine.
