I was in the Post Office earlier & they had signs put up at all along the counter that read
"Due to the shortage of ten pound & twenty pound notes in the financial system we have been allocated numerous fifty pound notes. Sorry for any inconvenience caused, but this is completely out of our control"
Whaaat :o :-? So let me get this right, the government have just pumped a few more billion into the economy, but we have a shortage of notes. Riiight ::) ::) ::)
Ok, own up who has them all :-/ ;D

I believe the billions the government pumped into the economy didn't appear as actual £notes of any denomination.
The missing tenners and twenties are probably in socks under peoples beds.

Virtual money. Not actually printing it, although that's the common phrasology.

Hang on a sec. The shortage of fivers was put down to the fact that cashpoints didn't dish them, hence a shortgae in day to day spending. Now its tenners and twentys. Is it being suggested that everyone pays for everything with £50 notes?
-
Somebody told me yesterday that they aren't going to print any more £5 notes, as they are going to introduce a £5 coin. Anybody else heard this?
-
Just read my own post. I didn't mean that this chap wasn't personally going to print any more £5 notes.
I meant that the Government weren't going to print any.
At least, I assume that's what the guy meant... :(
-
A five pound coin? When the £1 coin was brought in I felt as though it became devalued. A five pound coin I think might have a similar effect, apart from rip holes in your pockets.
-
We knew what you meant Jereboam ;)
We already have a five pound coin, it's been out for a few years, we just never see them.
I can't see that making a note into a coin de-values it :-/
I don't recal anything of the sorts being mentioned when the pound or two pound coins where introduced.
-
What I meant was, it felt of lesser value as it got chucked in with all the other coins. I was more likely to spend a pound in a coin form rather than a note form. Maybe because I keep my coins and notes separate. just my mentality i guess. :-/
