The new £5 Note!

I haven’t seen any yet. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of £5 notes in circulation. ATM’s that give out £5 notes are very rare and that’s where I get cash from.

I remember the old Dutch notes were plastic before they went over to the Euro.

I know they are out there somewhere. But haven't received one or seen one , as for cash machines , I'm sure I read somewhere that it will be a rather long time before machines are changed over, 

I wonder how many are holding on to them  as they did with all new coins.  My hubby have saved all his £2 coins , first cashed in with £1,500 and many hundreds at intervals since 

I haven't seen any yet either. Tigerfish, are you hoarding them all?

What!- the old white fivers are of no more use?

Better get them out from under the bed then and spend them!

We have had them for a while up here as Scottish banks do their own notes. By

I've got a series of old pristine ten bob notes somewhere safe. Trouble is I can't remember where I put them.

Strange, the issue does seem very patchy. My local convenience store (Co-op) apparently had a pack of 250 on the first day and have been issuing  in general change ever since.

As I said the final day for the old fiver is only next May which is a short period compared with other new notes in the past. So don't fret you'll be getting them soon!

On ebay today apparently they are asking for a starting bid of £200 For a low serial number £5 note , also the Bank of England are holding an auction day for low serial numbered notes that they have held back 

Saw one today in our village shop, in fact it was the only one in the till and we all had a look at it, I thought it was quite a bright colour.

I hear the Bof E wants us to say goodbye to the penny, would you miss that? Are you like me, I put most small change in a savings jar.
