    "customers do even occasionally return 'white' fivers, which went out of circulation back in 1961."

    If anyone has a white fiver they want to return I'll take it for you and give you a fiver for it 🙄🙄🙄
    If you don't like what I say slap me around with a large trout and PM me to tell me why.

    Some people report having a problem with banks not accepting old notes. Has anyone had any problems depositing old notes into the auto-teller machines?
