canerandagio Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teller never raised any issuing with changing them just expressed surprise at seeing old currency she hadn't seen for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2702 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

blackcab Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 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.
