The hidden ingredient in Aussie banknotes that will make you absolutely sick

How did it even get in the printer? - by Alex Pierotti

We use it every day and we're told it can be printed off in a heart beat. But turns out there's more than just plastic and paper in our everyday banknotes. 

In a recent video posted posted to Facebook, bloggers Project Nightfall revealed that the Aussie banknote contains animal by-products. 

And according to The Morning Bulletin, The Reserve Bank of Australia has confirmed that the note contains around 1 per cent tallow - animal fat sourced from sheep, pigs and cows, supposedly to help prevent friction and static.

Both the vegan community and religious groups reacted negatively to the footage. 

The post already has nearly 700 thousand views with over 5000 shares. 

While many were angered, others joked that"(A)ny of the vegans who don’t want their money due to this, just send it my way, I will dispose of it properly for you.”
