I wish they brought the £1 note back it would be a lot easier then having lots of change in you pocket or wallet

That Series C £10 note really was worth a fortune back in the day. Adjusted for inflation it was worth about £200 in today's money!

What a great video. I’ve recently started collecting old banknotes, British ones especially, I’ve just got an old 1945 white fiver. 👍👍😀😀

Thank you your video brought back old memorys.

Such a nice video, really simple but well thought out and informative (I didn't realise the Series E notes had a copyright mark, nor that the earlier notes from the series had a crown symbol which was replaced with the note denomination later). The reverse of the Series B blue £5 is my favourite (such a majestic looking lion).

Thank you for this video, I’ve just spent the best 10 minutes reliving my childhood 😊

that was very interesting never knew there were so many different bank notes in the last 60 years thanks for posting a lovely piece of history hopefully others see it too :)

Brilliant collection! Definitely more than my collection but I appreciate the showcase as I wasn't even around when most of these were issued. Beautiful notes. All of them!

Next to Canadian paper money, banknotes from the uk are my favorite, the Colours, and design etc. are very fine . thanks

Series F only consisted of the £20 and £50 notes issued in 2007 and 2011 respectively and the new polymer £5, £10 and upcoming £20 and £50 are series G.

Great presentation.Thank you very much.

Personally my favorite bank notes are the US bills from before the 90s, I feel they are the most classic looking and is what I immediately think of when someone says money.

The 1960s ones looked really nice.

I remember the Series C tenner - when I turned 16 an insurance policy my parents had started for me when I was born paid out, and I remember the insurance man counting out eight of those in front of me on the table at home. I was rich! (My older brothers had had policies too, but they got less because they were 10+ years older than me - the idea was to give us a little nest egg when we reached school leaving age). My dad used to give my mum a series C £5 every month, and apart from what we grew on the farm, that was what she had to feed us all with.

Great collection. Good review.

I loved the 60s notes. I was a bus conductor in the early 70s and brought back memories. I loved the old 10 shilling note. I remember them in my pay packet along with one pound notes and with two half-crowns.

Very interesting thank you

Nice presentation! I have a collection including many of these--for example, 6 different 5 pound notes, with the oldest two being the predecimal versions shown in the video. I hope to add a 5 pound "white note" to my collection.
