Interesting pointed towards deflation, I thought...

I would have thought the increase in fivers was related to the large number of fake one pound coins in circulation, and / or impeding planned inflation. Maybe the one pound coins are going to be withdrawn?

This is a non-story really.
There has been a problem for a long time with the five pound note in that they get damaged / destroyed very quickly. Plans have been in place for well over two years to remedy this by escalating the BOE note replacement process. The media have picked up on this because many ATM providers have also decided to re-introduce fivers to their machines due to escalated demand. The obvious 'story' is that people want lower denomination notes due to the recession, but again this has been planned for a couple of years. Nothing remarkable is happening - but it can be twisted to sound economically interesting.
No 'new' money.

The fact that they are in demand is the equivalent of a big siren and flashing light saying 'DEFLATION'.
Happened in Japan with 1000 yen notes too.

Just when I was starting to big you up, you dissapoint me. Could it not be that the metal pound looks too expensive to produce. 'INFLATION'
Sorry for the tin foil thing. BTW http://www.geocrisis.com/cp_chemtrails_menu.htm
Going on since the early 50s paul. It all come out in the open after time paul. Everything. (Like it or not)

Crunchy, I've no idea what you're talking about. Pounds are made of cheap alloys. Dirt cheap. I know you're a gold bug which may explain it, but really, I still don't really understand you.
Pre 2007 fivers were not in demand. Now they are. Deflation primary evidence.

5. paul, Who ate all the pound notes? Would these be exuding the fresh unconscionable whiff of print?

I seem to recollect a chat we had about the Greenback some time ago, before it hit a 15 year low.
Let's hope you are correct this time.
