  1. Yeah English people hate them. I’ve heard “we don’t take euros” uhhhh OK…

    Spend it here before you go.

  3. I’ve always been told no, because it’s an Northern Irish Bank or some nonsense… but – out of pure curiosity I’d love to see if you manage to spend it back home.

  4. Buy a bottle of water pay for it at one of the self service tills at Tesco or one of the other supermarkets. I always do it when I’m in England. You’ll get the £9 change in coins

  5. A paper money? From the days of yore? Bank is your best bet

  6. English people will look at it like it’s a meteor arrived from space lol

  8. First Trust Bank has rebranded as AIB and no longer issues banknotes. Their notes are no longer legal currency and will not be accepted by most shops or businesses – but they are still worth their face value.

    If you have a UK bank account to which you can deposit cash at the Post Office (most banks other than Monzo and Nationwide) you should still be able to deposit it at any Post Office in Northern Ireland. You are more likely to have success at a main Post Office than a Post Office counter in a shop.

    If you do not, you can swap it for a valid £10 note at any AIB branch. You do not need an AIB account, but you will need the same proof of identity and address as you would need to open one (at least in theory, whether this would be enforced for one £10 note is another matter).

    It may also still be possible to swap it for a valid £10 note at the Crown Post Office on Bridge Street in Belfast on production of valid ID. They were providing this service for AIB “for a limited time”, but there was no indication as to how limited.

  11. If you’re in Essex I’ll give you £20. It will go I’m my collection of notes to show my kids what real money is

  12. put £10 of petrol in your car, hand it to the cashier and walk., thats what i always do

  13. Yeah you can tear bits of and use it for the roach of a joint
