That paper your five pound note is printed on is actually worth much more than £5.

That's gotta be a bit arse about tit surely?!

You've kind of thrown me there Binary Ninja. Explain your words man, or forever hold your tongue! haha

Sorry chap, missed this!

The paper that our fine currency is printed on is extremely expensive. So expensive, in fact, that when it's transported it has armed guards. This is the only real anti-piracy property the note has, the rest can (and has been) copied very well. I also believe it's quite expensive to manufacture, due to it being a paper / cotton / sommat else blend. So that little piece of paper with the Fuhre... errr... Queens' noggin on it and a little £5 is worth much more than £5.

One of my fathers business associates spent quite a few years at her majesties pleasure for some of his more nefarious dealings with the English currency. Well that, and smuggling people / tobacco into the country.
