Strangely, when in France recently the ATMs tended to give out €10 and €20 rather than €50.
I reckon part of it is the banks trying to encourage spending!

Nope t'is just you Daz! I had two fivers in my pocket yesterday but now they aren't there

Don't you mean £1 notes, now that is a note you don't see anymore.

I know what you K, when we went to France a few years back, of I went to the money swap shop in Glasgow Airport only to be given a bundle of €50 notes that no shop or tourist attraction in Paris (yes major city in France) would want to take.

Next time when we went to one of the Canary Islands I refused to accept €50 notes from aforementioned shop as we had so much bother in Paris.  Got a rather rude look from the girl behind the desk though.  When will they get it in their thick heads that nobody wants huge notes.

The equivalent is like walking into a shop here to buy something and trying to pay with a something equivalent (if there ever was such a thing) as a £30 note!  You would get told to  off!

£5 notes are getting rarer as most ATMs don't give them out. Don't know why TBH.

Try coming to Ireland where the ATMs will not give out €5 or €10 - only €20 or €50.

Is it just up in Scotland or all over the UK that £5 notes are virtually a thing of the past.

Meaning you end up walking around with about half a tonne of coins in your pocket?

Get it sorted shops!
