This makes no sense
19. Nov 2009 at 12:28

I was in the Post Office earlier & they had signs put up at all along the counter that read

"Due to the shortage of ten pound & twenty pound notes in the financial system we have been allocated numerous fifty pound notes. Sorry for any inconvenience caused, but this is completely out of our control"

Whaaat Shocked

So let me get this right, the government have just pumped a few more billion into the economy, but we have a shortage of notes. Riiight Roll Eyes

Ok, own up who has them all Undecided

Virtual money. Not actually printing it, although that's the common phrasology.

The shortage of fivers was put down to the fact that cashpoints didn't dish them, hence a shortgae in day to day spending. Now its tenners and twentys. Is it being suggested that everyone pays for everything with £50 notes?

I didn't mean that this chap wasn't personally going to print any more £5 notes. I meant that the Government weren't going to print any. At least, I assume that's what the guy meant...

When the £1 coin was brought in I felt as though it became devalued. A five pound coin I think might have a similar effect, apart from rip holes in your pockets.

Re: This makes no sense Reply #13 - 19. Nov 2009 at 17:58 We knew what you meant Jereboam We already have a five pound coin, it's been out for a few years, we just never see them. I can't see that making a note into a coin de-values it I don't recal anything of the sorts being mentioned when the pound or two pound coins where introduced.

Nov 2009 at 18:07 What I meant was, it felt of lesser value as it got chucked in with all the other coins. I was more likely to spend a pound in a coin form rather than a note form. Maybe because I keep my coins and notes separate. just my mentality i guess.
