New £5 Note !

[mikey4444]

I have finally tracked one down, and I have to say that I like it !

Its crisp and clean, and you can see through it !

Lovely colours....turquoise !

[Jackdaw33]

Well it would be if it's new.

[jno]

they stay crisper a lot longer than new paper ones, Jackdaw

[mikey4444]

I have just dunked mine in the sink, given it a pat down with a towel and its good as new !

A vast improvement on those old dirty, raggy ones.

^I think it's ok if you don't put it in the tumble dryer.

Try putting 5 or 6 together, you'll find its not easy to carry them in your pocket. I haven't owned a wallet for more than 30 years and carry them that way, bloomin nightmare!

[naomi24]

Not if there's a high wind blowing, divebuddy.

DB > ^^^ Yes, but hanging it on the washing line can't be a good idea

High Five Divebuddy! :o)

[aelmpvw]

don't keep it in your wallet mikey, the moths will have it

[Elina]

Can't wait for them to start trickling through Mikey.

[mikey4444]

I have folded it up and put it behind my iphone, in its case, as my "emergency" £5:00 !

[mikey4444]

Elina....keep trying....mine come from the village Post Office.

Thery`ve had plastic money in Australia for years. They are better though - the old fivers were short in circulation and became very tatty.

[Jackdaw33]

All notes will be plastic by 2020. Gives a new slant to the phrase, 'paying by plastic'.

Haven't found any in our area yet - I think people are hanging on to them as they get them, as a novelty!

[Jackdaw33]

I remember the same when the 'ten bob bit' came out.

Had a few come thorugh my till at work, and agree, they're nice and 'clean' looking :-)

That being said, yesterday I also had a new looking 'old' fiver as well.
