I haven't had a crisp, new bill in Australia yet but I presume it's the same thing as the new Canadian bills. As soon as the bills become a little bit used they have essentially the same feel and consistency as the old paper money. They don't stick but also they don't tear and don't get ruined in the wash.

I hope at some point Canada also follows the Australian model and remove pennies and include GST in the point of sale price.
