Since Britain is ahead by a few hours, the 20 pound note will be in circulation very soon.

I wish I knew about this sooner as I was in London at the end of December into New Years and just at the airport in Heathrow yesterday. I should have saved an example of the current design. I don't care for the polymer tens or fivers. The paper ones are superior in feel, quality, and overall design.

 

I can send you a fresh £20 for £40

Joking apart this was my favorite £20,
4 series back.

 

I actually like polymer notes for some reason. Hong Kong also did this some few years back with their dollar.

 

Ugh, wish it had better engraving, love The Fighting Temeraire, I have a hand painted copy of it, several other great works as well from Turner...

 

I got 3 from the ATM today, already used so I will have to wait and get some Unc from my bank.



They sure don't beat the £434 in old money I found in a house clearance yesterday though

 

I have a Shakespeare 20 pound as well. Still on the lookout for a crisp Faraday 20, though.
