Great work.

A bit confused by this. Are you saying poor people are denied access to the new plastic fivers or did I miss something?

#68

It’s a classic case of didn’t-read-the-article tbh. Thought they were getting rid of fivers altogether, which definitely seems like a thing this government would be up for.

Indeed. Strong, strong posting.

Quite surprised/“impressed” how quickly they’ve supplanted the old ones and become the new norm.

It’s strange to think how we ever survived without bimetallic, 12-sided pound coins really, isn’t it?

it disgusts me that we were ever that primitive

They’re too shiny, and I keep confusing them for 20p in my wallet.

Not for shopping trolleys, Wza!

The vending machine at work hasn’t been changed to take them either. It’s a fucking nightmare

Wish they’d hurry up with those new plastic tenners.

On balance, I don’t care much for the plastic fiver. Too springy

#82

Eeyore to its Tigger, eh?

I had one of those fivers a week or two back that was held together with sellotape because it was ripped. They said this wouldn’t happen!

#84

i had a fiver with a tear in it, was worried it wouldn’t be accepted or would get completely torn in half but managed to get it working in a self service checkout

Someone must have said this on DIS already unless your all part of it, but supposedly were leaving the EU yet our new pond coin looks suspiciously like a euro and is probably worth the same and, and we can now use our phones in Europe at no extra cost. Its a conspiracy I tell thee!!!
