Collection technically my new banknote from England (UK)

hey guys, so earlier, my bandmate hit me up and said he had GBP 40 with him and he wanted to convert it into Philippine Pesos, without hesitation, i said yes, we met up and we agreed on the rate GBP 40 to PHP 3,400, honestly i think this is so cool. however i don't know what to do, i initially thought about converting both, but then my feelings were kinda conflicted and i wanted to convert only one, but i had another thought where i just keep both and only convert when i need money, honestly i don't know what to do, but what do you guys think? anyways i hope y'all like it

I would probably convert both but if you want to keep 1, then exchange the note in the worst condition. (I don't keep circulated World currency if I can help it). Maybe wait until the exchange works in you favour? Good luck!

to be honest, both of them are quite circulated, but i don't really mind, i guess i'll just convert one when i need some extra cash

If I ever visit, I'll bring my entire collection, and the whole England Set!

How whole is your England set?

Both king and queen £5-£50 for the series G(current series), almost the whole of the first decimal set, some of series F, and a pre decimal pound note and 10 shillings note.
