The reason im so angry is i've got 5 grands worth of these shitty notes on me, so im afraid i cant. I need them to live, ironicly. I went to the bank and they gave me new crap. I'm going to ask for old ones in the future.

This, however, is true.

Thanks man - theres no denying it. The old one just looked better. That's all, but looks are everything. Money is beautiful - or should be.

Security features were added the way it looks:

1. Paper quality -Banknotes are printed on special paper with raised lettering in some areas. Fake notes can sometimes feel limp or waxy
2. Print quality - Numbers, letters and colours are sharp and clear, whereas counterfeit notes may appear slightly blurred
3. Holographic strip - Pound symbol and figure 20 alternate when the note is tilted
4. Microlettering - Words printed below the portrait of the Queen are only visible with a magnifying glass
5. Metallic thread - Silver dashes on the back of the note become a continuous dark line when held up to the light
6. A see-through "register" shows a broken pound sign. The symbol becomes whole when held up to the light.
7. The watermark has been moved to a white panel to make it easier to find
Other - Some unpublicised "covert features" are designed to further deter counterfeiters

It still looks crap. Haha, phyco, i've had fake 20's - you can tell straight away. And i had some bloke try and pay me with half a 5 note and half a 20 note taped together.

They did the same thing in 2003 with the new Iraqi currency.....I've got about 5 mill. in a safety box.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

It's not the quality of the note, it's the quantity.

How much is a draw/oz/bar/kilo of skunk in euros?????

[ChronBudz]

wow this is the first time i have ever really seen any type of european curency and i must say american money looks much cooler but thats just my opinon especially since they added color to all the bills something about the queens face on those notes creeps me out lol

[Sweyn Forkbeard]

I can't say i hate the new £20, i really don't care that they changed it. New note designs are always going to be brought out now and again.

What does piss me off is what pisshead highlighted - the amount of money thrown away by European institutions all the time on absolute nonsense laws and reports and such.

Actually what really pisses me off is the phrase "hearts and minds".
