The new £20 is now out there!
With a host of new security features, as found on the Bank of England's website here, Britain's most widely used note becomes polymer today (20/02/2020 - see what they did there?) with "Painter of Light" JMW Turner and his famous work The Fighting Temeraire.
We haven't seen one yet (they don't give out free samples) but we will let you know the moment we do.
Do please tell us when you first come across one, either via Facebook, email (info@tokenpublishing.com) or on Twitter (@coinsandmedals)
