£50 notes

A lot of city ATMs will start introducing £50s, as they're quite useful - I like 'em anyway, and wouldn't consider it willy waving. Whenever in Europe I often have a €100 note on me - heck they go up to €500! Don't see the issue with them myself really.
 
Here in switzerland they have a 1000CHF bank note - about £500 :eek: All their notes look gaudy and cheap though.

And the fact when you hand one to the cashier they instantly **** their pants and start trying to proove its fake.
Anyone else find this.

this is because they are easy to copy and are seen so rarely, it's also a lot of money to be allowed to go in the till if it is fake, they don't '****' themselves as you quaintly put it, it is common practice to have a supervisor have to authorise the taking of a £50 note due, as said above, to the levels of fake tender.

i personally hate £50 notes, they are a right pain in the arse because of the above, and there are a few places that just wont accept them, i'd rather have a £20 and 3 £10s :o

Fear the Scottish note. Making English shopkeepers uneasy since 1707.
 
I remain perpetually bemused by the fact that people pay for everything in this country with £20 & £10 notes, cashiers reject £50 on the grounds that they might be fraudulent (?!), £5 notes are rarely used, and £100 notes don't even exist. So you've got a currency using different notes which are variously undersupplied and openly mistrusted. Gee, that's got to be a winner. :confused:

Don't even get me started on copper coins. :rolleyes:

Oh, and paper money is rubbish. My country uses polymer notes, and I love them.
 
Bank of England £100 notes do not exist but are issued by certain banks in n.ireland and scotland.

Apparently 1 million pound notes exist called giants and there are one hundred million pound ones that are called titans :eek:
