seems that despite assertions by the BoE that they'd be difficult to counterfeit, the new plastic fivers have already been faked.

in modern political parlance, is there any need to be vigilant? after all, they're not fakes, they're "alternatives" and if these notes don't contain animal fat, they might even be more acceptable than the real thing......

A plastic fake found by a plastic Bobby in Dorset seems to have sparked this off.

Says is all.


Nothing is likely to be uncounterfeitable. Surely the advantage of the new notes was meant to be longevity ?
" difficult to counterfeit"

doesn't suggest that it's impossible though does it? Regrettably in this case where there's a will there's a way.
Now let's get this straight. No one has actually found one. This non copper has circulated this non story for some odd reason probably because she didnt have the brains to be a real copper.

And who in their right mind thinks you should dial 999 for something like this?
Oh, and these articles appear to have been lifed from the Daily mail yesterday.
