I know I used too and I guess many still do Hoard Sterling Notes for when they go home so jsy as a heads up this Five Pound Note is being with drawn very soon so for me get them changed or lose them. Things are changing in the UK; Just TWO WEEKS left to use paper £5 notes before they become void
There's one way to guarantee to get your old £5 note swapped – head to the Bank of England itself. That phrase "I promise to pay the bearer on demand" is something that doesn't have a time limit on it, the Bank told Mirror Money. The Bank of England's head office in London's note exchange desk lets anyone with an out of date note swap it for a current one – meaning anyone with a fiver can head there and swap their paper fivers for polymer ones. In fact, even if a note's ripped, smashed or otherwise vandalised, as long as there's enough left to identify what it was they will swap it for a new one. To exchange your banknotes in person you can take them to the following address: Bank of England Threadneedle Street London EC2R 8AH Just TWO WEEKS left to use paper £5 notes before they become void
