Lately, i v had quite an experience with the polymer notes printed few years back!
Yesterday was the peak when i was about giving the last 50Naira change on me to a bike man and it tore! It would have been more embarrasing if i was not in my area.
Is it the way people handle the note or do we spend low quality of polymer?
Pls, kindly share any experience you‘ ve had.

On 28th of Febuary 2007; the 20naira polymer was issued by the CBN. Also, 5,10,and 50naira were issued two years and few months after.
In recent times, i v had dealings with marketers at the retailing level. Though, the highest denomination makes handling easy: the use of the lowest denominations for change is needed for goods exchange.

As i was saying; they keep complaining about the faded and torn notes piled in their homes.
Then i ask; Would the bank reject these defaced notes? I believe banks won‘t reject them. Who‘s got time for changing of notes when there are other marketers saving large sums of money, especially in the new generation banks with larger population of customers?
If truly some of their profits are lieing somewhere defaced, do i conclude that in every sector of the country: Nigerians will always suffer and smile?

I think the polymer notes are intended to make us handle money carefully. Here in ibadan, u can't spend a taped polymer note. So whenever u are given a polymer note, u double check it before folding and pocketing. The only problem I have with polymer note is that they fade off easily.

Thanks for sharing that! In short, any taped/faded note end up....... Is it possible for the large populace to handle the polymer well? Do you think people need awareness on this?

It seems viewers have nothing to say about the polymer! Don‘t view alone: comment pls.

We are nigerians. We just accept whatever is handed to us from our leaders.
