Today plastic money is used in about 30 countries and accounts for 3 percent of the world's money.

今天，使用塑料钞票的国家大约有 30 个，占全球货币的百分之三。

But these technologies couldn't prevent a $ 900,000 swindle back in 1966 in Australia, which is how we got plastic money.

但这些技术也没有阻止 1966 年澳大利亚的 90 万澳元诈骗案。正因该案件我们才有了塑料钞票。

As the world slowly starts to adopt those technologies, we may not even have to do our own grocery shopping anymore, making traditional paper and plastic money even less useful.

随着世界慢慢开始采用这些技术，我们甚至不需要亲自去买日用杂货了，使传统的纸币和塑料货币变得更加无用。
