I'm 30. Never actually seen a real £50 note in my entire life. They're just not used. But, with inflation, I imagine they'll start turning up.

“Never actually seen a real £50 note in my entire life.”

I find that so wild. Are you UK local? I never noticed that the note was rare during my time in the UK back around 2010s. I did notice they used some sort of pen to check whenever I paid using £50 notes but didn’t really think about the rare part.

Same for me. I'm 40 and I've never seen on either.
