Read more from this authorWhile you’re in the mood for getting a refund on a useless product, you might want to root through your wallet, purse or matress for any old £20 notes and hot-foot it down to your bank. Today is the last day that the Elgar £20 note will be accepted in shops having been gradually replace by it’s successor, the slightly more purple one.
The new twenty, introduced in 2007, features economist Adam Smith and is definiately the one you want if a shop keeper gives you a £20 note in change. If you have an Elgar note and no shopkeeper will take it, today is the day to swap it at your bank or local post office, as from tomorrow they do it only at their descretion.
Strangely however, you may still find Elgar poked out of a cash machine when you request twenty pounds as there is no formal penalty in place to prevent the banks from issuing old notes. What to do if you get one and can’t swap it? You’ll have to post it to the Bank of England I’m afraid, but don’t worry, they’re good with money – they’ll sort you out.
