They don't care where it comes from.
The point being - is money one?
Why be so dismissive?
Because there is zero evidence of what you're saying. How much plastic are people surrounded by and how much of that weight is bank notes? How much do they shed? Show some numbers or just use some common sense that this doesn't matter.

A polymer bank note weighs 0.7g

If you have 10 bank notes in your wallet, you have 162,285 times as much plastic in your house.
I think most people would have had used some basic common sense that even their trash bags are many times more plastic than the polymer bank notes they use.
Why did you possibly think that anyone should be focused on microplastics from bank notes?
At what point do you go from "just asking questions" to "maybe this is a bizarre thing to focus on" ?
It's called plastic money by the way, not polymer money.
If you go to a country where they use these, they call them polymer notes.
They are made from a polymer and people that use them call them polymer notes. That's a decent amount of evidence compared to your no evidence.

Polymer cups are also made from synthetic polymers like polypropylene. So are polymer knives and polymer forks.
I don't know what else to tell you. You said it's not called polymer money, I showed you a lot of evidence that it is.
Not a euphemism. They're made out of polymer. This is pretty direct.
you don't have to accept if you find polymer cups ridiculous
I don't and I don't know why anyone would be upset over that.
You said they aren't called polymer notes, I showed you they are called polymer notes by linking evidence. What else is there? Are you still saying they aren't called that or does it just upset you for some reason? You can hate it but it's still true.
What did you think this was evidence of?
