Has it ever been seriously suggested that production costs for minting coins and printing notes could be offset by allowing a corporate sponsor to put their logo on the currency?
Hong Kong goes beyond even that suggestion; it allows private banks to print circulating Hong Kong Dollar banknotes, as long as they put up adequate US Dollar as collateral with the Monetary Authority. The Hong Kong Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar.

Paper vs Plastic Plastic are recyclable, can be wash after single use That's why people laundries their papers.
It's not like the notes are going to lose credibility I think they should be forced to display the banks that own shares in the RBA
Taxi companies in the UK have been asked to stop doing this and there have been far right political groups in the UK doing something similar. Source:
