Paper £10 notes

[gaijintendo]

Consider it a souvenir that you've acquired for the sum of £5.

On the bright side, its resale value should in theory never drop, as the Bank of England on their website promise to honour all withdrawn banknotes of theirs at face value for ever.

I have a sack of my Gran's half penny coins - presumably from an early career in bank heisting. They don't seem to be worth much on eBay. But if the Bank adjust for inflation... I might retire!

Edit:480th of a pound =.2 pence, or half a pence? I might investigate.

You end up with too many of those. Need to get your hands on some of these.

I banked my paper £20s yesterday because I thought it was already done, but she said that I had until 2020...

45p per packet. I got £4.55 in coins and a £5 note in change for each one.

Sorry I'm still having difficulty with the maths, you start with a single £10 note, you go to Aldi buy 5 packets of rice each at £0.45 & end up with over £20 in change & £25 in £5 notes, can you tell me where this magical machine is, I want to retire.

I tried to pay for a tyre repair today with a paper £10 note

You're making a bit of an assumption there...

C'mon @User lighten up, are you not the one who like literal meanings, please don't lose any sleep over it, maybe you left your sense of humour at the side of your bed this morning

No, I had a total of five old £10 notes.

Cash is just so old fashioned these days.

Between cards, contactless and Apple Pay I forget what it loos like.

One can't use Apple Pay to light a cigar.

I think there are more reports of self combusting iPhones than tenners.
