I rarely use cash, but I hate the new plastic notes. I find them very difficult to count because they're too slippery.

I almost gave 2 x £10 change the other day as they were stuck together. Awful if dealing in any quantities/counting as they go everywhere.

These new notes are a pickpockets dream - they don't even have to pick a pocket, just wait until they fly back out. Never ever fold them!

Well there's a lot of effort gone into it but the end result doesn't look very interesting. I don't suppose it matters.

It's a horrible design - thankfully we'll get three of our own designs to look at and only see these on occasion.

Why is it so difficult to find the dimensions of the new note? Google takes me to a PDF document on the British Parking Association web site; it gives me no results on the Bank of England's site. On the Bank of England's own site I had to delve through to page 15 of a PDF entitled "Take a Closer Look A5 Booklet" to the page on features for the blind and partially-sighted, where I finally found the dimensions.

Edit: Found it.

It is on the Bank of England's site, but probably not in a searchable place.
