PS for you foreigners out there who don't understand what proper money is/was, ten bob was ten shillings or half a Pound. :wave:

Hence the expression "as bent as a 9 bob note", which I use occasionally even though decimalisation predates me by about 18 months...

And the ink is still wet? Of course it is- it is actually non drying ink.
Get a newish note and a bit where there is plenty of printing and put a really heavy pressure on with your thumb and rotate it onto a piece a clean white paper.

IIRC the £20 note - and certainly the £50 note - have a security device on them where you rub part of the note on a piece of paper - the genuine article will lose some ink to the paper.

Trust me!

Can some kind soul remind me what a £50 note looks like, it's been soo long since I last saw one. :(
