I have updated the name to be even more generic. In General, Stuart9 writes:    We don’t call our non metallic currency bills either, we call them notes. I say non metallic because our notes are now plastic. In General, runner.caller writes:    [p=3069bpx7] In 2021, the name on this part changed from "100 dollar bill" to "100 paper bill"... seems like an odd move to me. Certainly made it harder to search. And maybe other regions or countries would refer to it as a "100 paper bill" or the feeling is that "paper" is more generic bc not every country's currency is a called a "dollar", but I feel like that could have been added to the "dollar bill" verbiage. The part appears to have had the same name from 2001 to 2021, so I think there should be more consideration put into changing the name on parts with established names.

We don’t call our non metallic currency bills either, we call them notes. I say non metallic because our notes are now plastic. :) In General, runner.caller writes: [...] (4 months ago, Jan 31, 2024, to General)
