You can take them to a bank to be swapped for modern ones but most shops won’t accept them
Nope, but you can take them to your bank to swap them out.
You can use them in any shop in England.
No. Take them to a bank or post office and they can swap them for plastic ones.
It’s still a promissory note, so the bank promises to exchange it for a replacement note, which in turn is their promise to exchange it for actual value. Old notes are not “illegal” to use, just troublesome. So most people wont accept them.
The main reason it’s not accepted regularly is because they are old and have been counterfeited in the past (hence the release of new notes with additional security measures).
No, send them to me and I’ll recycle them 👍🏻
Nope. Just send them to me.
Take them to a bank to swap out.
Just take them into your bank and they’ll change them no problem. I found a paper tenner a few months back at the bottom of my boyfriend’s rugby bag (weirdo) and RBS changed it no hassle.
I’m afraid not. You can send them to me and I will take care it for you.
Shops will refuse them. Take them to a bank or use them for your dealer.
My uncle ronnie has suitcases full of paper 50s in his shed.
Technically Scottish notes aren’t legal regardless what they’re made of.
No, just take them to the bank and exchange them
Depends on the shop. I’ll take them and change them at the bank, if you’re not being an arse. Technically, we do not have to have accept them but generally it’s not a problem for us.
Not just “a” bank. They won’t take them unless you have an account. Central post office will take a limited number per 3 years with ID. I had some £50 from a COVID-cancelled trip that no one would take them in Cardiff in 2023. I exchanged up to the limit per passport and took the rest home to US Bank to deposit without issue. https://moneyweek.com/personal-finance/605464/how-to-exchange-old-notes-for-new-ones
