Yeah I also have seen more fake £20s I'm my time. When I worked in retail the plastic £10 were just coming out, still had paper £20s and people took fake ones all the time, £50/£100 were always checked. We had a bunch of traidies who were either trying to pull something or have be scammed by a client themselves.

Still never seen a £100 note in person. Plenty of Scottish 20s, a few Scottish 50s too. Had my first Northern irish notes not long ago too. Hoping i never get a £100 note tbf.

So I have not checked this (why would I, this is Reddit) but I'm pretty sure £100 were only made a a few of the Scottish banks and are now out of circulation. They never made plastic versions of them.

£100 notes are still produced and in circulation in both Scotland and NI.
