Fifty Nicker

[poliphilo]

 A £50 note came into our possession yesterday. Ailz is going to pay it into the bank because, she says, there are so many forgeries out there the shops won't accept them.

I'm not sure I've ever handled a £50 note before- at least not one of the modern plastic ones. 

The verso has a portrait of Alan Turing with the prophetic message, "This is only a foretaste of what is to come and only the shadow of what is to be."

One came into my possession recently! I couldn't remember ever having seen one in the flesh before. On wondering where the provider obtained it, R. reminded me that the person does have a senior position in a foreign country's central bank so, yeah, they can probably get hold of random currency.
