Opened my dad’s old lockbox and found all these!

  1. It makes me feel very old to think there will be a lot of people looking at this post who weren’t born when these notes were in circulation

  2. Could pay a bill with them but why not keep and make a picture feature of them? Just find a hanging spot away from the front windows!

  3. I have no memory of the £50 or £100 notes at all, probably because I was quite poor back in the day.

    Edited. I used the euro symbol!

  4. Op’s got it backwards, you’re supposed to take a picture of the lockbox before you open it saying you’re gonna try and crack it open and then never update us and leave us hanging in suspense

  5. God I feel old. I remember both! When the new ones came in they felt so different. The old sellotaped pound notes that smelled of tobacco 🙂

  6. I remember when they first came out they were so small compared to the older notes

    Don’t get me started and the pound coin replacing the pound note

  7. Who goes to the effort and expense of saving these for posterity but keeps one with biro scrawl on it?

  8. I was a working man in the 90’s and I have never seen a the £100 note, and I don’t remember ever owning a £50.
