Anyone going to UK? - have to spend old £10 notes

[canerandagio]

Hi,

 

I know this isn't probably the correct forum for this query but I couldn't think of a better one. Apologies in advance.

 

I have £410 in old ten pounds notes which I need to spend before they are not legal tender anymore in March 2018.

I am not planning to travel to the UK in the coming days, so if there is anyone who is going and want to exchange them for me, either in baht at the Superrich rate or in other pound notes I would be grateful.

 

These notes can be spent until March with no issues.

 

Long shot, I know.

Thanks,

straydog

Not anymore. They stopped accepting them. Bangkok Bank too. Will try other banks..

1st March is the deadline apparently. Kinda tight now...

You can change them directly with the Bank of England in London, no deadline

I am not planning to go back for a long time (maybe years... do you think it will be OK after say 5 years?)

Yes.

 

And, in addition, whilst branches of commercial banks all over the UK are not obliged to accept the paper tenners after March 1, the reality is they will change them for years to come unless you get a recalcitrant teller.

I changed some £1 notes in 2015 (27 years after they ceased to be legal tender) and some big 50p coins (18 years after withdrawal) in a small local branch of the Natwest. Teller never raised any issuing with changing them just expressed surprise at seeing old currency she hadn't seen for years.

Yes you're stuck with them  now but can change them in the UK just not spend them.

I had same issue a month ago with £20 notes. My local post office took them off me. Not supposed to but he did it as I was a known customer.

Hold on to them. At the moment they're worth just B18,000 - After Brexit (2019) they could be worth B28,000, or more.

(or maybe B10,000, or less - who knows?)

Panics and checks cash ...... all 20 pound notes .....phew!

20 pound notes expired last month, didn't you know? [emoji4]
I'll get them off you today if you want, at half their face value (and yes, i will pay with my 10 pounds notes). Deal? [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

Brexit could be postponed indefinitely I heard yesterday... (2020 or later)

I'll give you baht for them, but nowhere close to the Super Rich rate.

 

I'm not going to the UK for 18 months, so the exchange rate could worsen significantly during that time. In addition the whole thing of meeting up, doing the deal, losing a year and a half of interest and visiting a UK bank is just painful.

 

15,000 baht is what they are worth to me.

Thanks. Tempting and reasonable offer. I will hold on to them. [emoji4]
