“I’ve said the word twenty so many times it doesn’t even sound like a real word anymore so I’m going to have a nap or something”, this is the best outro ever.
When I heard on the news this morning that the new £20 note was issued, I thought to myself Chris is going to have a new video today. It seems I was right.
Great, so now I am going to lose a fortune when they stick together due to static charge and bounce out of my pocket.. Horrible things.. Still the chances of having 2 at once are getting slimmer by the day.
So guys, we did it, we reached a quarter of a million subscribers, 250,000 subscribers and still growing the fact that we've reached this number in such a short amount of time is just phenomenal, I'm-I'm just amazed. Thank you all so much for supporting this channel and helping it grow. I-I love you guys... You guys are just awesome.
Chris, at first when I saw one of your videos for the first time, I did not think that it is going to be much.But man did I fall in love with your channel.Life is about exploration and doing what you love.Trying to make the planet a better place.And with your cat videos, with your travel, money ones and the plastic video, you show all of that.I cannot explain how much I love your channel.You are definetly underrated and deserve more respect.
A quote from the Bank of England website explaining why the Queen's portrait is still of her when she was younger and has not been updated: "Today’s notes use the same portrait of the Queen that has appeared since 1990... The familiarity of this portrait helped create a sense of continuity when the Bank of England began printing notes on polymer in 2016. It’s a timeless image of a monarch who has been a feature of our banknotes for generations. "
So why does Gibraltar and Canada and the rest of the Commonwealth use a recent portrait, they’ve obviously all updated the portrait from a younger one? It’s surely the same scenario.
Libertarian Infidel As somebody who works in a bank, i handle these daily. They are extremely nice to handle and easier to count fast than paper notes as there is no friction between them. They also last a lot longer. You're poorly mistaken.
Has anyone noticed that she was 59 when the portrait was taken, in the middle there are 5 20s and on the right there are 9 20s which would say 59 and all told to us in 20s on the note! I can't be the only one who noticed this??!
Broo so close to 250k! How you doing today? I spotted the secret blink! At 4:23 the 2 dollar dude blinks and not gonna lie that was the first time i spotted a banknote blink from your vids. Absolutely love what you do keep it up bro. Also love that 50 pound artists rendition 😂
Well done on mentioning the raised text, a commonly overlooked security feature. I was first told about that by a Bank of England employee some decades ago; and to this day it remains the most effective, discrete, and quick method to check the notes you have been given (as change in a shop, at a bank counter, or from a cash point).
Hello, Sir H.A. Chris! I really enjoyed the video- especially the subtly humor you send around it! Like the oil painting selfie joke and how you say that his signature was morbidly taken. Your humor is perfect for the entire family! I hope to see more from you. With love, Clarence Campos.
I have been waiting for these notes since the release of the new 5 pound note... also a couple months ago my family got a year old tabby cat named Twinkie! I'll send some pictures to you soon... he is such an amazing cat! Can't wait to share him with you
Your videos are so interesting and can tell you put so much work into these videos. I dont know how u dont have at least a million sub! You deserve it!
How I LOVE all your videos, Chris. You teach this American guy a great deal about your nation's bank note currency and coinage. I love these instructional videos as much as I love your videos about animals, perhaps a bit more than I love your videos about your expeditions, which, by the way are of very high and entertaining quality as well. Thank you for all the work you do on all these videos.
You made it just in time! Personally I've always found the new British bank notes to be rather aesthetically pleasing? Pretty? Missing the right words here. That may also be because bank notes mean holidays to me! And British holidays have to be one of the best kind! Thank you for all the detail you put into these videos. They're a calming breath of fresh air!
@@datoneslav6902 OK, fair enough. The word 'fiver' means £5 and 'tenner' means £10. I thought Americans actually use the word fiver for $5, but perhaps not everyone uses that word.
Several of the Scottish banks, including The Royal Bank of Scotland, issue £100 banknotes. A good nickname would be "ton note" I suppose! Its surprising, really, that with the price of everything nowadays that £50 and indeed £100 notes are not much more common in regular circulation. Unless its a big store or supermarket, shops generally don't like them. Its weird, because the Adam Smith £20 note was far more likely to be a dud/faked than a large denomination note.
Sounds a lot like the American $1000 note. We do have a $100 dollar note that used quite a bit, but mostly $10’s and $20’s. There’s always been a mystery behind the 1000 dollar note and wether or not banks really use them to make money transferring easier.
I love your vids I am such a big fan this video was so interesting thank you so much for all the videos you make and all the time you spend on them you are so amazing!
Scared of the fifty £ note? Man, here we are in the US scared of dollar coins and two dollar bills 😂 both of which I try to use often and give out as change at work.
archlinuxrussian I lived in the UK for 4 years and I’ve seen a £50 note only once in my life, so they’re probably even more rare than the 2 dollar bills in the US
in both Northern Ireland and Scotland we have £100 bank notes, these are issued by commercial banks which circulate alongside the normal bank of england bank notes and are of the same value as them
Another great Video. I love waiting for your video for every new note. Could you do a video on the Scottish notes? They are some of my favourites but no one seems to cover them.

I didn't know that, that's super interesting - thanks!
Probably a slight commercial decision too, probably already prepping for the day they need to re-do it next time for the new King
So why does Gibraltar and Canada and the rest of the Commonwealth use a recent portrait, they’ve obviously all updated the portrait from a younger one? It’s surely the same scenario.
So we just gonna ignore the fact they purposely released this note on the 20.02.2020 ??
Captain Diego that’s why he said “how long do you reckon they planned that for?!” In the first 10 seconds lol
I guess the new £50 note will be Released on the 30.5.5050
I’m saying
No, considering it was more or less the first thing he said in the video.

I wish America's currency was as fluid and artsy as other countries.

Nice work getting this out on release day Chris! As someone who used to have to tell staff about these new notes, I wish we’d had your videos then!
Chris said "twenty" 27 times in this video. I know you were all wondering, your welcome :)
Is that all?! Did you count words like "twenty-four" which technically has "twenty in it?" :)
@@HalfAsleepChris I did and I am very surprised to say it was only 27 times 😂

Nice video! Your channel is the best I’ve ever seen, and I’d stop watching any video so I can watch your videos.
The sun rays on the note are called ‘corona’ rays.
Had they released this years ago would people be saying the same thing that it's the coronavirus?
I was waiting for this note, even though I’m too poor to have one.
I’ve been to the Turner gallery on a school trip.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HEART!
Mate what a great video!!! Flipping well done 👍🏻
This is the only time I’ll see it cos I’m broke lol😂
I won't see one because I never use cash and always use debit card these days, I may have the odd fiver or tenner but nothing higher.
