British notes folder

[@vikingraiders4138]

The 80s notes were by far the best I really missed them.

[@Daveyboyz1978]

I agree 100%

[@shanemanchester]

The bluey and the brownie, £5 and £10, were the best notes. Works of art. 👍

[@NandiCollector]

stunning designs, indded.

[@shanemanchester]

Nice video, pal. I’ve recently started collecting notes. Just got my first white £5 note. My fave is the blue fiver. Duke of Wellington. I remember the ‘80’s, you could have a night out with one of those. 😀😀

very nice collection

BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION BRITHISH

Impressive set of notes you got there bro.☺

[@NandiCollector]

British coins & banknotes have the mos gorgeous designs, 😍😍😆

[@Daveyboyz1978]

I think so, particular favourite of mine is the 1950's £5 with the lion and key.

[@NandiCollector]

@@Daveyboyz1978 that's a true stunner, but I love everything from UK & Territories. 😁

[@nicks8986]

Lovely notes would love to see more with some close ups

[@andynoble9786]

i started british collection of notes but only getting 1 of each one rather than few of the same, no where near your quality and variety but getting there, just need the early notes now, £1 notes and 10 shillings from bradbury era but very high in value so might have to settle in just getting warren fisher. hoping one day to pass it down to kids, might be worth few quid more than i paid

[@Daveyboyz1978]

I just started with one of each type and before I knew it I was adding the different signatures. Those early ones are expensive and it is tempting to sacrifice quality to get one cheaply but if you are hoping for a return you probably want to get the best notes you can.

[@adisuryanto9929]

Nice Banknotes collections.

[@Daveyboyz1978]

Thank you

[@stuartbrooks5734]

nice collection mate I dont collect notes but I do have one I think might be of value it was one of the last type pound notes with a handwritten serial number would you have any idea of value mate ?

[@Daveyboyz1978]

Might be a couple of hundred quid depending on condition. Error notes regularly come up in auction, and a missing serial number is a pretty cool one. Often, these have the serial number handwritten.

[@dariowiter3078]

Very attractive bank notes. You Brits should have stayed with the £1 note instead of the £1 coin.

[@Daveyboyz1978]

The notes were usually tatty and these days £1 doesn't go far. In America there is politics involved and coins are unpopular but here we seems to like the coins better.

[@dariowiter3078]

@@Daveyboyz1978 Well, coins are popular here, but that depends on the denomination used to buy things.

[@Daveyboyz1978]

@@dariowiter3078 Even the amount of £5 notes in circulation are drastically reduced now since cash points do not dispense them. When I wss young £50 notes had huge purchasing power now it hardly filks the car with petrol.

[@shanemanchester]

I remember when they ceased the £1 notes, mid ‘80’s, I think, there was initial uproar, but soon forgotten. But I agree, I prefer notes to coins. 👍

*Which note was the most expensive and how much did you pay for it?*

[@Daveyboyz1978]

I think it was the early red Bradbury 10 shillings, which was £300

[@andynoble9786]

hello mate , with the somerset £10 note did they have notes with and without the silver stitch strip ? I have one with the silver strip with serial number starting HZ but i brought another starting AZ but realised it dont have it. pranoid i brought a photocopy 😂, i thought id ask you

[@Daveyboyz1978]

It is series cat no. B348 which should have a small capital L on the bottom left of the reverse standing for Lithograph offset printing. The last run was CR90. Serial numbers with the foil introduced on CS01 (B349 catalogue number)

[@sopcopotoptop]

Did England have paper money prior to 1914? As the US Federal government started “printing” money as early as 1861 out of necessity due to coin shortages during the civil war, did England have paper money during the Victorian era or otherwise? I can only seem to find paper species starting 1914. Thank you!

[@Daveyboyz1978]

Yes it goes back to 1694 if memory serves, handwritten notes that were so easily forged they rapidly began printing parts of them and by 1808 the serial numbers were printed. These tended to be branch issued notes which were a far larger sum than the average working man would ever handle. We had provincial banks too issuing their own notes but I haven't really got involved in those.

[@Fifury161]

You skipped over the original plastic £5 millennium note released by the Northern Bank (now Danske) back in 1999! Polymer plastic - released at the same time as the Australian notes as it was part of the same bank (National Australia Group)...

[@Daveyboyz1978]

I had overlooked that connection so thanks for pointing it out... I should probably update this video too... I have re-organised my notes and had a few good additions since then...

[@Fifury161]

Cool - I'll keep an eye out for your next video!

[@chickenrun2095]

Hello there! Do you know what material the old handwritten banknotes are made of? I'd love to purchase some of this material. Many thanks

[@Daveyboyz1978]

The English paper was special security paper... It contained water marks and was not available. The modern paper is the same... They keep the recipe secret.

[@chickenrun2095]

@@Daveyboyz1978 Okay! Would you know any similar materials? Thank you :)

[@Daveyboyz1978]

You want high quality paper? Thin or thick? Any artists supplier should carry many different types of paper.

There is a book called "English paper money" by Pam West, thats generally where I get information on values and serial numbers etc.

Maybe I will sell something when I am an old man... for now I will keep everything. Glad you liked it.

[@shanemanchester]

Can I ask where you get your folders from? The ones I have aren’t as big or good as yours. 😀

[@Daveyboyz1978]

Ebay "classic banknote folder". You want the three ring folder and mylar pages (archival safe plastic). Sleeves which are made of soft and smelly material can ruin coins and notes - mylar is inert.

[@shanemanchester]

Many thanks for the tip. I’ll look into it tomorrow. Great vid. 👍👍

[@shanemanchester]

Thanks for your tip on the folders. I got one to try out. A lot better than what I was using. 👍👍 I’ll defo get some more. Do you go to auctions/fairs etc? I’ve only been buying on e bay. I’m in northwest, can you recommend anywhere to look? I’m new into it.😀😀

@@shanemanchester the majority of my notes came out of circulation... Then I tried to backfill the older ones. I visit the London banknote exhibition once a year and have bought many on ebay too plus there are a couple of sites like vcoins where I have bought a couple.

[@jameswhitlock7497]

Are the 1981 50 pound notes rare?

[@Daveyboyz1978]

Well at the time £50 was a lot of money and you only really saw them if you did a large withdrawal in the bank (cash points don't dispense £50 notes even now when they don't buy so much) So these were less common notes to see and I imagine most got cashed in because of the high value. They are quite expensive so that indicates some rarity but "rare" is not such a useful word... What is rare? To some its just a few known examples (clearly by that definition they aren't rare) to others it is more of a relative term... Compared to £1 notes they surely are rare.

[@jameswhitlock7497]
