Fun with the new plastic fiver.

He's behind the times now, with his iPhone 6, no iPhone 7.

Is that the one with the crappy camera? No wonder his Chalfonts bother him so, poor man.

At which point, assuming you get them out in one piece each, they'll no longer be legal tender. Even the banks won't take them back.

Apparently the banks will replace them, as long as the serial numbers are still legible.

Thats the B.O.E., and it costs £10 for each note to be replaced.

Standard fee, and sent at your own risk.

Australia introduced plastic notes a few decades ago. The main problem with them is that once they crease, they stay creased.
Which reminds me: I have Swiss Francs and Euros in my wallet that I need to dispose of somehow. Should I exchange them for Australian dollars (which of course will attract a fee), or just hang on to them until my next trip to Europe? Should I start a forum poll about how to dispose of them?

And on a serious note. There's a an idea that you donate your first new £5 note to charity if you can afford it.

We've had these 'new' plastic fivers in Scotland for over a year, they're very handy for emergency cash when cycling, as they're totally waterproof

The Northern Bank issued plaatic fivers years ago in NI but I haven't seen one in years.

I dont want the queens head stuck up my arse if you dont mind.

There's people who'd pay good money for that.

My,err, 'mate,' for instance.

Haven't seen one yet. Hardly surprising as the Mrs doesn't let me have any money!
