Bank of England Notes – New Chief Cashier
From September 2012 the Bank of England will re-release current circulation £5, £10 and £20 banknotes to include the signature of the current Chief Cashier - Chris Salmon. Other than the signature change the banknotes and their security features will look identical to the existing notes. These banknotes will be manufactured using new printing technology, which is also applied to the £50 (Boulton and Watt) banknote which already shows Chris Salmon’s signature on the front. All of these banknotes will co-circulate with existing notes bearing the signature of Andrew Bailey, the former Chief Cashier. There are no plans to actively remove ‘Andrew Bailey’ notes from circulation, these can continue to be used normally and retain their legal tender status. More information can be found on the Bank of England website.
Innovative Technology validators do not require updates to accept these bank notes, however we always recommend the use of latest firmware (included in currency dataset files)
