Paper Money and Banknote Collecting Events This Weekend
Wednesday, 9 July 2008
£20 Note Was The Most Copied British Banknote
Did you know that in 2007 a total of 290,000 counterfeit banknotes were removed from circulation and a majority of these were £20 notes.
In actual fact the Bank of England released some figures recently and out of the 290,000 fake notes retrieved, 276,000 were £20 notes!
This is the reason why we actually have new £20 notes, the redesigned banknotes have improved security features. And this strategy has actually worked as large as the proportion of the fake £20 notes are , the Bank of England figures show that counterfeiting the £20 notes is on a decline. The number of notes taken out of circulation had decreased by 24 per cent and the total face value of fake notes has been reduced by £1,800,000.
My Paper Money Collecting Absence.
Apologies to all my Paper Money Collecting readers who have patiently waited for a new post for over a week now. I have not been on holidays or I would have informed you. But life all the same has been very busy and challenging. I am hoping that now things will slowly get back to normal and I can continue blogging.
Just to let you know that I may not be able to make frequent posts as before but there should be at least a weekly post and one on events, making a total of two weekly from now on. As life improves I shall get up to speed.
Thanks for bearing with me folks.
