200p Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have a wad of these. Their value will go up as they can't print them no more! You can buy them at gift shops - I believe the gift shop in Port Solent (under the chinese restaurant) may still sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Woods? Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The BoE is just getting twitchy about the currency becoming indistinguishable from tissues. Perhaps Kleenex should send a cease and desist letter to the BoE for producing money that cannot be distinguished from bog roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybong Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 A bit off topic - at a quick glance it's seems quite easy to mistake a £50 note for a £10 note as they look very similar and the colours being similar. How people with poorer eyesight would tell the difference is anybody's guess. So there's more than one way to devalue consumers/customers money. They could easily have chosen a more distinctive colour. My bank is now trying to push them when I go in for cash but they're unacceptable because of the £10 similarity - that and the use of large denomination notes just seems to encourage a bit more inflation of prices which I'm sure the're very well aware of, so for me at least they're a very definite no no.

24gray24 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Tell the BoE to F off. They have no legal right to tell anyone what to do. If they want to argue to a court that the currency looks like toilet paper, let them. They wouldn't dare. The whole world would want tickets. So just tell them to F off.
