geared 268 #3 Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Why is there no polymer £50 not being produced? We just don't seem to make good enough use of the £50 over here. Edited September 15, 2016 by geared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The change in notes is to flush out the hoarders!...Bet £50s will soon become obsolete..........so get under the bed quick and get rid!

blake 10 #7 Posted September 16, 2016 Why is there no polymer £50 not being produced? We just don't seem to make good enough use of the £50 over here. In London, £50s are used far more often than elsewhere. overseas, £50 notes are also the ones that foreign exchange dealers want to have. Some forex guy in Bangkok would much prefer to receive £500 in the form of 10 £50s, than 25 £20s, although nobody would give a better price for a UK £50 note as opposed to a UK £20 like they can give better prices for a US $100 bill than they do for a US $20.

geared 268 #9 Posted September 16, 2016 In London, £50s are used far more often than elsewhere. Maybe because cash machines don't give out the 50 note you just don't see them as often? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
blake 10 #10 Posted September 16, 2016 I have a shop in Sheffield and have received only a handful of £50s in like the past ten years. they were all tourists, who received the £50 when they were outside the UK, or people from London and the south east. I ask them for ID before I accept it, suspicious that it might be a forgery. I think I can always tell if I examine it properly, when a £20 is a forgery but not so sure when it is a £50. I think that at least some London ATM's may well dispense £50s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geared 268 #11 Posted September 16, 2016 The new(est) £50 does have quite a number of anti-forgery components to it, but the issue is knowing what to look for and what a fake may look like. The Bank of England produce a few bits about what to look for in a genuine note, but as for what fakes look like............... http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Documents/kyb_lo_res.pdf http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Pages/current/security_50.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
blake 10 #12 Posted September 16, 2016 I've accepted a smattering a smattering of forged £10s and £20s, mostly because I was just lazy and didn't examine them properly. With nearly all of them it should have been obvious that they were fake. £20s I nearly always take a few seconds to look at to check, £10s not so much. I received a particularly good fake £20 in March, even when it was called up as a fake at the bank, I didn't immeadiately see what was wrong with it, so this year I have been on the lookout for fakes even more than usual.
