did get a tip in the form of 3 x€500 notes once though, only place you can spend them easily seems to be the south of France-

Easy to shift them in Gibraltar,i pulled some out of my pocket once and ripped one,the bank wouldn't change it as I didn't have an account with them,found a Pakistani shop keeper who changed it and charged me a tenner for doing so...….Then asked did I want a load of duty-free fags delivered on the Spanish side of the border :eek: (I don't even smoke).

I remember when I was a kid in the 90s people were forging £1 coins. It must have cost a canny bit to produce so what’s the point

I cant mate,the old guy I used to know in Thailand who served time in the UK for counterfeiting notes told me what one man can make another man can copy I remember he told me optimum 80 I think is the paper of choice for old UK notes,it was a paper/linen or paper/cotton mix.
 
When I was a nipper in the 80's I went in 5th Avenue one neet and they gave me a flyer on the door that had some event on one side and a picture of an obviously fake £10 on the other.

I got a can of Colt 45 and gave the lass behind the bar (tbf it was quite dark in there) the flyer £10 picture side up for a laugh thinking she'll never fall for it. Dozy mare gave me over £9 in change!
