Currently, in our country, banks only exchange the last series in direct exchange, i.e. banknotes: 5 pounds from 2016, 10 pounds from 2017, 20 pounds from 2017, 50 pounds from 2021. This also applies to exchanges at exchange offices - banknotes of older series are unfortunately not exchangeable. The Bank of England remains the safest solution. You do not have to plan a trip right away to personally deposit the banknotes withdrawn from circulation and avoid losses. It is worth remembering that the Bank of England accepts old denominations without any problems, and their exchange is possible at any time. One of the inconveniences may be filling out an additional form in which, among other things, you must specify the origin of the old banknotes.
For people with British pounds and currency exchange offices, the appearance of information in the media about the withdrawal of British pound banknotes was certainly puzzling and sometimes even worrying.

All old British pounds, especially those with the image of Queen Elizabeth II, may still be worth something.
