“could one day be worth” …. yeah, so could my first edition of Cryptonomicon. One day. Maybe just that one day.
Still, https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/statistics/banknote gives various numbers, but it’s pretty obvious the growth of pay-by-bonk, nicking a lot of lower value transactions, whether it’s via your bank card, phone or nasal piercing, has reduced demand for notes and coins. A pint is pretty much over a fiver, so they won’t really cut it any more. Chuck’s 75, so there’s probably not a lot of time until a re-design is required, so not many are really going to be issued.
And the polymers are supposed to last longer (ha!) and are pretty recent.
