New five pound note

Hate carrying cash, very rare I carry it anyway but I'm looking forward to getting rid of the paper notes. The £5 ones are always falling apart.

Now when are they going to do away with 1p's and 2p's? I don't even keep them anymore! Smallest currency should be 5p :P

Would love to see the 1p and 2p scrapped myself, even if they rounded everything up.
 
Will they start putting them in cashmachines now? :rolleyes:

Just for those times when you need cash but only a couple of quid

I never carry cash. Card all the way

Yes, it shows it on the page in the OP.

The Canadian notes are clever, if you shine a laser pointer through the transparent section towards a wall it projects the denomination.
 
Good, they all should be plastic.

Norn Iron had them years ago (curiously just fivers as well) and I believe it's fairly common in the antipodean areas?
 
Hookers and dealers don't generally take plastic. Nor does my local pub or station coffee kiosk... The last two being the reason I keep cash about of course :p
 
There are a lot of places that charge you a fee or just won't accept card at all for small purchases so carrying some cash around is still very handy.

Don't shop at these places then?

I very rarely carry cash of any kind, don't seem to have a problem.
