Well done on mentioning the raised text, a commonly overlooked security feature.

A quote from the Bank of England website explaining why the Queen's portrait is still of her when she was younger and has not been updated: "Today’s notes use the same portrait of the Queen that has appeared since 1990... The familiarity of this portrait helped create a sense of continuity when the Bank of England began printing notes on polymer in 2016. It’s a timeless image of a monarch who has been a feature of our banknotes for generations. "

Several of the Scottish banks, including The Royal Bank of Scotland, issue £100 banknotes. A good nickname would be "ton note" I suppose! Its surprising, really, that with the price of everything nowadays that £50 and indeed £100 notes are not much more common in regular circulation. Unless its a big store or supermarket, shops generally don't like them. Its weird, because the Adam Smith £20 note was far more likely to be a dud/faked than a large denomination note.
@markgroves6838 4 жыл бұрын
Sounds a lot like the American $1000 note. We do have a $100 dollar note that used quite a bit, but mostly $10’s and $20’s. There’s always been a mystery behind the 1000 dollar note and wether or not banks really use them to make money transferring easier.
