A few weeks ago, a staff member of my local Tesco took an "old" fiver, the one with the Duke of Wellington on the back https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2xmHZSKb2aA/UKqi3E4ZoLI/AAAAAAAAKko/1ErL7lHcEdA/s640/British+five+Pounds+Sterling+note%252C+Queen+Elizabeth.jpg ! He was told off by his manager who didn't know what to do with it. I said I'd give him a new fiver for it.

Turns out the manager got suspicious and decided the "safest" thing to do was cut it up and throw it away....

You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
