DaveWhitfield commented When is the new five pound note being launched?

You might have heard that a new five pound note is coming out....well, here's everything you need to know about it.Why are we getting a new fiver?The Bank of England periodically replaces notes to introduce the latest new security features and stay ahead of counterfeiters. It also means that the bank can feature new characters.What's different about it?The Bank has decided that its next £5 note will be printed on polymer, a thin flexible plastic. Polymer notes last longer, stay cleaner and
