Thus the counter-argument to plastic is once they figure out how to counterfeit them, it'll be much harder to take them off the street since they don't wear out so quickly.

Not really, when the government decides they want to withdraw something from circulation, like when they replaced the dollar bill with the loonie, or the two dollar bill with the toonie, it happened pretty damned fast. When they decide to do something like this, any discontinued bill that reaches any bank gets sent in to be destroyed and is replaced by the new currency. Considering that most paper money passes through banks pretty quickly (if you spend it, the business deposits it usually pretty fast), the majority of the discontinued bills disappear PDQ.
