I think that's the problem so far, there aren't enough old beat-up bills in circulation yet.
When I went to Australia a few years ago, I didn't have any more difficultly with their plastic money than I had with Canadian paper money at the time. At that time, they had been using plastic money for 20 years, so you had a mix of old and new. Right now, all we have is new bills.
It's no different than when you'd go withdraw $100 and get five crisp new paper $20s. You always had to be cautious that you weren't handing over two or three bills instead of one.
