If you mean the notes with the picture of Michael Faraday (rather than
Elgar) they ceased to be legal tender on 28 Feb 2001 and so certainly
should not have been issued to anyone in 2003.


Never mind the Faraday ones.......

Further to my other post in this thread, it's not many months ago since
I had a US client here who'd just been given a *wad* of FLORENCE
NIGHTINGALE £20 notes by her bank at home!


Shurely Bill Shakespeare? Florence was on the tenner.


D'oh! My error. But they were Florence Nightingale ones, ie £10s.
I found it incredible (and the client was not a little displeased).
