UKC

Really just for interest as I only have the new plastic ones, but has anyone heard a date yet for the withdrawal of the paper ones? Maybe a date has not been set yet as the teller at my bank didn't have the date to hand. She did say though that the 5th May date is only for Bank of England paper five pound notes not the Scottish ones.

Tried googling and not found anything.

In reply to Climbing Pieman:

Maybe the problem is that there is no such thing as a Scottish fiver!

There is a BOS fiver,

there is a RBS fiver,

there is a Clydesdale Bank fiver,

but there is no such thing as a Scottish fiver

BTW your own bank will almost certainly allow you to bank old fivers virtually for ever. My business still occasionally gets the old BoE £20 note and I can always bank it - any business that doesn't take old notes or even 'foreign' notes (eg Scottish or Northern Irish) are morons as you can always bank them.

Ha, your right. Badly worded by me.
