I have a guy from Holland coming to collect my car on tuesday evening.
I am meeting him at the airport and he is bringing cash in gbp £'s.
He has the money exchanged already and it is all in £50 notes.
Guy seems fine but was wondering if anyone in the banking sector had any ways of checking 100% to make sure all notes are legit.
I have been told and read that faked £50 notes are in circulation and are very good fakes with some even containing the watermark and silver strip.
Also the quality of the paper is said to be very good and £50's can not be checked by uv light.
I have been told also that on the front of a £50 note there is a small dark coloured traingle that if u rub this onto a white cloth or paper then it should leave colour residue on the paper or cloth and that fakes will not leave anything as it is a special ink.
So come on guys, any other ways to put my mind at rest, as it's nearly 6k i'm taking in cash!
