    The new ones will gradually phase in and the old ones phase out. At some point the BoE will announce that old notes won't be accepted at high-street banks at some time in the future, then you'll probably have a year or two where your bank will "send them off" (so a delay in crediting your account).

    Shouldn't cause any problems - they changed the fiver a few years back didn't they? Anyway, not very MSE to keep a stash of twenties under the mattress...

    I didn't even know they existed until I went to my nans on Wednesday! They really do look like Euros.

    I was so impressed that I asked if we could swap! :rotfl:

    Was it issued by the Northern Bank by any chance.
    Northern Ireland does have a £100 note.
