but who the hell thought it up? i mean who was bored enough to sit and think to themselves "hmm I wonder if the new fiver can play music from old records.... i should try that!" ......
(For those interested) It works better at an angle because a vinyl groove is a V shape. (L/R wall is for L/R channel.) By pressing at an angle, the corner is more clearly 'reading' one of the two channels. This actually works with a piece of regular printer paper too, or a wrapper from (say) a bag of skittles, even a sharp toothpick. The corner of the paper sleeve for disposable chopsticks works even better since the pouch shape amplifies the sound surprisingly loudly. Paper doesn't last long against the friction, though.
Many decades ago when I was a DJ I used to put the first knuckle of my index finger in my ear and my fingernail in the groove of a spinning vinyl record. This worked well, but was useful for exactly nothing but listening to music on a record when there was no power.

Note: Counterfeit money will only play illegally downloaded vinyl.
it sounds like that annoying guy on the bus who always listens to music on the highest volume...
The Queen has never been so useful.
awesome now I don't have to drop insane amounts on diamond needles
I just think it's crazy how you can get music out of bumps and grooves in a plastic disc to begin with, let alone with a plastic bill

The future-past of scratching vinyls :-)
i love how he didn't care about the money being ripped and proceeds to warn that the record may be damaged
Can't believe it's been 6 years since the plastic fiver came out. And now Lizzie's gone. Man times move fast.
Bro missed his chance to pull the most clever Rick Roll ever
So now you can use the queen to play queen. splendid :D

Vinyl record technology is just wizardry to me as someone who's grown up mostly in the digital age.
Wonder how someone figured this out.
You can do that with pretty much anything that can fit in the groove and has enough surface to vibrate.
Those new 5 pound notes apparently have been designed to play Sex Pistols' God save the queen. :-)
It took 7 years for TH-cam to recommend this video.
that plastic bank note would be much less damaging to a record than the metal needle would be.
