The anti counterfeiting features are probably a good thing. For most people unless they fold up for wallets they will be problematic. |

Apparently they cost more to make, but last much longer. You can leave them in your pocket while swimming etc. Australia have had them for years. |

I say go for it. If the £5 notes last longer, maybe banks will start giving them out in cash machines again. |

Yes that is a plus. I only have chip and signature cards so have not used an ATM for decades. |

The cash machine near me gives out £5 notes. It's rather annoying at times |

Too late, it's already been decided. Apparently Jane Austen will be on the next £10 note. That's a shame. Not because I object to women on bank notes, but because I really like having Charles Darwin on them. I find it funny that a ten dollar bill has the words 'in god we trust', whereas we have a picture of Charles Darwin. My next choice of scientist would be Michael Faraday, but he's already been on a note. |

The print on them started wearing off after not very long and is probably why they aren't in use any more. Mark |

I actually do not mind small denomination notes. If it is for something over a fiver I will use a higher note but under a fiver the fivers get used first. |

The Isle of Man has plastic notes too. Can't see a problem. Bring it on. |

If it was a choice of plastic notes or none at all I would opt for plastic notes every time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
