    In the UK, what value banknote is the oldest of all denominations in circulation?

    Question #21705. Asked by Val. (Aug 22 02 5:12 PM)

    		I reckon it must have been the Scottish 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pound notes introduced in 1727.

    The Bank of England didn't issue fixed denomination notes until 1745.
