If you don't want the old notes I'll take them. I collect all types of currency. Please PM me if you are just going to toss them.

 

Well these are 10s & 20s and have the magnetic strips in them so they can't be all that old.

 

Sounds like the best offer so far, I'll take you up on that if nothing else pans out.

You coming up for the GP?


Oh and thanks for the link which shows them to be "E" series notes

 

Well if they are £10 and £20 pound notes rather than pound notes then they are legal tender though a bit old. Get them to the Bank of England and exchange them there.

 

I have a 5000 Mexican peso note from about 20 years ago, just before they divided the peso by 1000, so that it wouldn't look so worthless (5000 pesos became 5 pesos). It's good for about 42 cents US today. That won't even buy a fish taco.

 

Well they just took some of the older ones out of circulation, so if they are 'old' you'd still need to swap them over at a bank in the UK.

All notes, however old do retain their face value, but for those taken out of circulation, the only place you can exchange them is at a UK Bank - so if you £100 in old notes, they'll exchange them for £100 in current notes.
