People have just two weeks left to spend their old paper bank notes
Paper bank notes are being phased out and replaced, and Brits have just two more weeks to spend their old £20 and £50 notes.
The paper notes will be replaced by new polymer notes, the same material used for £5 and £10 notes. This is because it is more durable, even surviving a trip through the washing machine. The new £20 note will feature prolific British painter JMW Turner, replacing economist Adam Smith, while the advanced £50 will feature mathematician Alan Turing. £5 notes were replaced in 2016, and £10 in 2017.
