£50 in old style £5 notes - Are they worth anything?

TokyoJoe

I have £50 pounds in old style £5 notes ( From 1970's 80's) . I know you can't spend them in shops but is there a way of converting them to the newer syle or are they just waste paper now ?

You should be able to change them at the bank. Or you could always sell them on Ebay to collectors.

If the banks wont change them, you can send them to the bank of england and they will exchange them for the new style notes. SO you will get your £50 back

have a look at http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/about/exchanges.htm on the form you need to get your money back. Hope that helps you
