I notice that the copied £20 note was in black and white, and had "SPECIMEN"
printed across it. I imagine those two precautions cover him against
accusations that he was trying to print money.

Is it illegal to scan a bank note (but not print it)? On the one occasion
that I've ever had a £50 note in my hot little hand, I scanned it to keep
the image for posterity as I'll probably not see one again. I've never been
given one by a bank (counter or cashpoint) - it's always been five £20
rather than two £50.

When I sold a car, the guy wanted to pay me in £50 notes and I said "Only if
you come with me to a bank who can verify that each note is genuine". He
"suddenly" found that he had enough in £20 notes instead ;-)

If an attempt is made to copy any current legal notes, the printer
will not print and I seem to recollect brings up details of some
official site that has the ability to inform you that it's wrong.

No real need to report it, I guess plod would not prosecute for just
the intention. The prosecution being too difficult to prove BTW, not
too petty.

I know this, I hasten to add, because when I had my new HP, a tenner
was, I thought ideal as a subject to see what the colour rendition and
quality was like.

It didn't work and failed to also with Euro and also other sterling
notes.


I do not think that Scots notes are blocked incidentally, there was a
consensus that no Scotsman would take his eyes off the note and close
the lid for the time duration spent scanning :-)

The only time that I had a £50 not it was given to me by someone who
lived in an architect designed house in an estate with exotic animals
in the grounds who kept cash to pay small bills, to cut down his audit
fees I guessed. He's dead now. I was quite relieved to be rid of it
although I can't remember where I spent it.

The old Atari 8 bit machines had a Dollar printing program on them it was in
the public domain, and of course although you could do both sides every note
had the same serial number and was hardly hard to tell from a real one, the
paper for a start!
It was good to demo hi res graphics and the ultra slow colour ink jjets of
the day.

The largest denomination note is apparently the ‚¬500 note.

Something like 95% of all ‚¬500 notes in circulation were in criminal
hands as it was highest value in the smallest volume possible for any
currency worldwide.

So very few ‚¬500 note actually made it into legal circulation. The ‚¬500
note consequently got nicknamed the "Bin Laden".

Everyone knows it exists
Everyone knows what it looks like
But no one has ever seen it.

AIUI, Some if not all EU countries have withdrawn the ‚¬500 note due to

I've had plenty of ‚¬500 notes since the Euro was introduced. The
European banks are no longer printing them but they remain legal tender
and they can be recirculated by the European banks. Likewise before the
Euro, I've had many 1000DM notes through my hands over the years.

Up here in Scotland I've seen three £50 notes in the last 20 years. When
I ended up receiving one I was surprised how easy it was to spend in a
shop, no questions or problems. I must have an honest face.

erm Clydesdale Bank, Bank of Scotland and Royal Bank of Scotland all do
em. Impossible to find a (legal tender) English one but if you search
hard enough you will find a Scots one. Though I will be honest haven't
used or even seen one in years.

Aside:-
Back in the early nineties I was at an English service station paid with
a pound note the 'girl' on the till gave me change of a fiver
don't know if it was the confidence that I presented it (didn't even
think 'mmm no pound notes in England') or that the 'girl' was minimum
wage and wasn't even caring what I had presented.

I have had lots of trouble spending Scottish notes in England......not
surprised...I was selling at a car boot sale once and a guy grabbed a
car radio without even looking at it and gave me a Clydesdale 20 after
he had gone I compared it with other Clydesdale twenties and I found
although good it was definitely a fake....so on the way home I went into
great mills and spent it no problem...

Saw them quite often when I was local postmaster in Aberdeenshire.

Usually saved them to give to English visitors as change, just to see
the looks on their faces :-)
