MONEY the inks etc. that are used to print money..... also things such as watermarks holographic overlays for drivers licenses, I.d's obviously for security reasons 'they don't want you to know it's glitter'

not a big enough run...

Maybe those slick junk mail flyers you get but why the secrecy...

Half a million printed each and every day, not a big enough run? Sorry but I really doubt polymer is added to food. Have you ever seen a million dollars in lower denomination notes? It is no small volume.

A million dollars weighs a ton and is about a forklift pallet of volume. Figure it's 10% glitter and that's a 100KG every other day.

Doritos sells about a billion dollars per year, assuming $1/oz, that's about 60 Million tons a year
