At £14bn the value of unspent paper £20 and £50 notes equates to the equivalent of over 50,000 average priced UK homes!
After the 30th September 2022, paper £20 and £50 notes will no longer be legal tender in the UK. At the last count the Bank of England estimated there were over 460 million unspent paper notes – that’s over £6bn unspent in £20s and £8bn in £50s.
