billets de banque en plastique

Explanation:
"billet de banque en polymère" se trouve mais 1) c'est une traduction littérale et 2) c'est incorrect puisqu'en français il faudrait écrire "en polymèreS" (ce qu'on ne trouve quasiment jamais)

As for the accuracy of equating "polymers" with man-made / synthetic fibers:

You may think that polymers are so common that they grow on trees... Well, you're right. When we say that polymers are everywhere, we mean it. In fact polymers have been in nature from the beginning. All living things - plants, animals, and people - are made of polymers.
...
Polymers in Plants

Plants are made of a polymer called cellulose. This is the tough stuff that wood and stems - and Paul's tree house! - are made from. Cellulose is also what makes fibers like cotton and hemp that we can twist into threads and weave into clothing. And many plants also make starch. Potatoes, corn, rice, and grains all have a lot of starch. Starch is also a polymer.

Sanjin Grandić: Explanation: the most accurate??? I don't think so. Je mange mon goûter avant de prononcer " billets (de banque) en matière synthétique"-https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billets_de_banque_en_dollars_c...

14 hrs

-> well, you are certainly free to join bankers and ignore the annoying fact that even the "old school/ordinary" banknotes are also made of "polymers" // "Si vous voyez un banquier sauter par la fenêtre ..." applies also to linguistics?
