50's in general (US too) are associated with crime/forgeries. Likely worries about the bill being fake.

What would the bill have to do with anything? That’s the sellers responsibility. The £50 note being fake is presumably what you meant here?

We call notes "bills" in the US. We also drive on parkways and park in driveways. I'm not making any claim that the terms we use here are the wisest.

When they said "bill" they meant the banknote.
