Now in circulation

The New Fiver entered circulation 13th September, Polymer banknotes are cleaner, more secure, and more durable than paper banknotes. They will provide enhanced counterfeit resilience, and increase the quality of banknotes in circulation.

The £10 note will be issued in summer 2017 and the £20 note by 2020. You can continue to spend paper £5 notes as usual until 5 May 2017. After this they will cease to be legal tender.

Polymer banknotes are cleaner, more secure, and more durable than paper banknotes.

Its important that all UK businesses that handle cash should plan and prepare for this intiative. You will still need assurance you can still differentiate between real and counterfeit banknotes and there are many machines that cannot be updated to accommodate polymer notes.
