NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 19201 Posts	Posted 10/24/2026 6:51 pm Lovely notes CollegeBarbers and walk2dwater! I've got the Manx and Costa Rican tyvek notes but none of the Haitian set. When I was in Costa Rica in late 1984 / early 1985 the tyvek ones were very common in change and looking back I should have saved more. The newest 20-Colon notes however were all the paper variety!

CollegeBarbers Pillar of the Community United States 2892 Posts	Posted 10/24/2026 10:59 pm Very nice, guys! It's interesting to hear that the Tyvek notes were common in change. It goes to show they could've been successful!

CollegeBarbers - I've always been puzzled by reports that the tyvek notes didn't stand up well to the climate, as I never remember seeing one in really bad condition, although they often got very creased.

Interesting contextual info Rob! Don't feel bad for not picking up notes back then: I lived in Jamaica for 2 years & only brought back a ragged $20 (last minute). By the time I got to Costa Rica all they had was the 1000 polymer & most of those notes you're talking about were coins. Glad I went though as it was absolutely stunning for nature (we stayed at a national park reserve).

If it's anything like the U.S., it's because the industry that supplied banknote paper didn't want the competition.
