It's also illustrated with the £1 coin that was withdrawn 5½ years ago, and banknotes that are also all withdrawn years ago.
It's also incorrect to say visitors won't deal with £50 notes. They're rarely in ATMs but they are common when exchanging cash abroad.
- notahacker 4y agoIt's correct to say visitors shouldn't deal with £50 notes if they can possibly help it, because they will generally struggle to pay for anything with them though..
- ghaff 4y agoAnything over a $20 bill has been hard to use in many/most stores for a very long time in the US (which seemingly at one point decided to freeze currency denominations in amber--see also penny--which I assume is permanent at this point as less and less cash gets used). But $100 bills at least were in pretty common use overseas. I still tend to carry some as backup cash.
- Symbiote 4y agoThey shouldn't have any problems in London, especially at places tourists typically frequent. I once worked at such a place, and the till would be stuffed with £50 notes by the end of lunchtime. I realise it's different north of Watford.
- denton-scratch 4y ago£50 notes were popular for criminal transactions, and also they were widely forged; I don't know whether that's still the case, but I'm very reluctant to accept a £50 note. If a shopkeeper checks it and decides it's a forgery, they have to take it off me for nothing, and I'm down fifty nicker.
