A great marketing opportunity was missed. If they had shown this haggard old woman as she really is, then people would spend their money a lot quicker.
It notes are printed on wrinkle-free plastic.
So it would be a bit daft to have a crinkley haggard face printed on it. Better to have a photoshopped Queen on it, and maybe ISIS might kill Helen Mirren by mistake.
Am I the only one who detests these new notes? I don't have a purse with a wallet section for notes, they just fold into the coin section but these new things don't fold and keep on popping up.
