I just noticed a poster in the Petrol station that told me that any
£10 notes that feature Dickens on will be withdrawn from the end of this month (or there abouts).

So if you have any stashed away under the mattress, in the wardrobe etc, then its best to get them exchanged soonest.

Whats one of them?

My Piggy Bank does not charge me interest, nor big fines if I dont pay it back on time...lol

Oh, and I can give it any currency, withdrawn or not :D

Only dealing in £50 notes now, eh? :)

Just for reference, guys, after the 31st July 2003, the Dickens note is no longer legal tender, so won't be accepted in shops, although you'll be able to exchange them at post offices, banks and building societies for some months afterwards.

The Bank of England will always exchange any old notes you have. More info here (http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/pressreleases/2003/048.htm)!
