ATM’s in Britain do not withdraw that denomination (they max out at £20), unless for some reason an individual wants a £50 note: they would have to visit a bank requesting for that (banks stockpile bills of all denominations). However, there is a stigma with a £50 note (money laundering, drugs, etc.) as often depicted in news stories about criminals caught with “dirty money” often have £50.
Even if you were to spend it at a store: they are like “sorry, I have to get my manager” to verify it’s authenticity, due to concerns of counterfeit despite the new bank note series being printed from polymer. I’ve heard that is often reserved for business related or larger transactions at certain stores (electronics, luxury brands) where they may be inclined to accept £50 in multiple quantities.
I swear we recently had this same question, with the same argument and even similar phrasing, for $50 (USD) bills. What’s up with that?
Bots. Bots as far as the eye can see.
I think there’s a lot more LLMs/AI agents posting than you think. Not saying OP is one, but I am noting “a lot” (subjective) of accounts somehow only posting questions like this and only commenting in their own threads. No other activity. I can tag them in my app, easier to keep track of weird behaviours like that.
Yep! It’s all financial type questions too🤔
