Do they still exist? edit
As someone who lives in Scotland, I can tell you I have never seen one of these £1 notes in years. I remember them up to about the mid or late 90's but have never encountered one since then. They just kinda disappeared. I assumed they were discontinued by the banks.
Does anyone have any information about whether these are still being printed or even used? The article suggests they are still being printed each year...but as I said, I've not seen one in decades. LoveEverybodyUnconditionally (talk) 00:21, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- It's all a bit vague. Natwest's website suggests that they are "still being issued" but no other comment (https://www.natwestgroup.com/heritage/subjects/banknotes/current-issue-banknotes.html) but if so, are they paper or polymer? I suspect there is some legal issue or technicality that is in Natwest's interests to maintain the existence of them, but what practical use would they be? I bet no shop would accept them. My guess is that they now have the status of "commemorative currency". Try spending a Queen's Silver Jubilee crown in a shop. The effect would be the same. Stevouk (talk) 12:56, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
