george Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I didn't know about this, so I thought there might be others who don't. This is what it looks like So if you get one of these, don't worry it is legal tender :wink: Just for comparison, the "old" note which is being phased out: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dan Sai Kid Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 And it's the first time a Scotsman has appeared on an English note. I hope Tony Blair is not planning to phase out the Scottish pound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be Gordon's first step towards phasing out the English pound ;-) Not just a pretty face, Adam Smith is a big favorite of right wingers, incidentally.

topfield Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Now what we need is our beloved 100 pound note back...taken out of circulation in 1943 because of Adolf. If the Scots can have them why can't we Brits . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rak sa_ngop Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) Sorry, George - I'll need to ask a mod to close this as it's not Thai related It may not be Thai related but as I am sitting on nearly 2K of 20 pound notes here in Bangkok (forgot to take my Thai bank details on my last UK visit) I am grateful for the info. 'Current £20 notes, featuring English composer Edward Elgar, will be phased out over the coming months' Thanks Edited March 14, 2007 by rak sa_ngop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashacat Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Looks crap to me, I prefer the old one, this looks more like a euro. Anyway, why can't we have some fit Briton on our notes like Catherine Zeta Jones and not that old munter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rak sa_ngop Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 In the 80's there used to be a 10 pound note that if you folded it right looked as if the Queen was giving a BJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
