New Five Pound Note

Son was given this in his change. Been in circulation about two weeks. Looks and feels like toy money. New to have Winston Churchill on back.

Indestructible apart from if you iron it, according to the Daily Mirror. This one doesn't look like it needs an iron.

Nice crisp note

[Gayle]

Very interesting shot for me! :-)

[carol white]

I got one today, too

[Graham Thresher]

Super shot.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I still haven't owned one but have seen one and they do feel very odd. I like the rainbow effect of the hologram xx

[wendy frost]

A great design with Churchill and his famous words and I like the see through window with the lovely hologram I have heard that it is being asked to donate your first one to charity which I would like to do when I get one.

@wendyfrost What a wonderful idea!

[Issi Bannerman]

Never new about these ... very cool. I look forward to seeing one for myself one day soon.

[Babs]

Interesting new design.

[Catherine]

I have yet to see one! I love the way Big Ben is lit up on your photograph!

[Debbie]

Thats uncanny... in Australia we have also had a new release if our $5. It also feels like plastic

[leggzy]

We too have recently had a new $5 note

[bkb in the city]

Canadahas new bills now which do not even look real

[Phil Sandford]

Passed my first to charity. They'll be harder to forge and should last longer (don't put in tumble dryer though - apparently they don't do well with heat) Nice pic
