Later on in 2016, the Bank of England are introducing a new £5 banknote. Alongside cosmetic changes, including the appearance of Sir Winston Churchill, the new £5 banknote will be the first English banknote to be printed on Polymer banknote paper that will facilitate new and improved security features.
Polymer banknotes are manufactured from a transparent plastic film, specially coated with an ink layer that enables it to carry the printed design features of banknotes. The material allows the inclusion of ‘windows’ or clear portions in the design which enhance protection against counterfeits.
Polymer banknotes are more durable and resistant to dirt and moisture so stay cleaner for longer than paper banknotes. Polymer banknotes are also more environmentally friendly than paper and, because they last up to 4 times longer are, over time, less expensive than paper banknotes
Polymer banknotes are here to stay, with a new polymer £10 featuring Jane Austen due to enter circulation in 2017 and a polymer £20 note featuring J.M.W Turner due by 2020.
Aswell as making sure your existing bank note counters are polymer note ready, retailers and cash handling companies also needing to be thinking about Polymer bank note verification processes. Although the Polymer bank notes will be be a lot harder for the fraudsters to duplicate there will be an uncertain period of 5 or 6 years when both old style paper currency will be in circualtion alongside the Polymer notes.
