I am getting ready to go overseas next week so I was having a look at what foreign currency I have. I found about US $500 and about 130 Ringgit (which is what I wanted) but I also came across these left over from a visit to the UK a few years ago.
As there are nearly 800 pounds worth there are too many to keep as souvenirs.
I notice that the Bank of England promises to pay the bearer so presumably I can change them if they are out of date when/if I visit next year.
I only have 10 and 20 pound notes but I have a feeling these were the ones that were replaced. Is that the case?
On the bright side I bought them when our dollar was worth over 70p now it is 56p so I am well ahead
Hi Bruce.
I can't tell if your £10 notes there are the new 'polymer' ones or the old paper ones. Whatever, a bank should exchange them for you but you won't be able to spend them if they are the old ones.
£20 notes haven't been replaced yet, so they are still legal tender.
Enjoy your trip bud
