I am currently in Canada where they have for quite a while. Even have Braille imprinted. Easier to handle and feel better generally. A 'yes' from me.

If I was a counterfeiter (which I'm not) the fact that they are polymer coated would make them quite easy to copy *cough* especially if you had a dye sublimation printer.(which I have).....

I remember a few years ago about someone who made 1 pound coins out of water and sand he would put them between that paper you get frozen beef burgers on then would go around amusement arcades and use the change machines. A lot of hassle admittedly but apparently very profitable and it also left no evidence.
