Like, what’s the point of its existence when that denomination is difficult to come by since ATMs don’t disperse them. I mean, will they still refuse a £50 note when paying for a £45 purchase? They go full counterfeit detection mode just because an individual has it despite that being the real one (not fake). Also, why does the Bank of England keep printing more of that when they know people barely use it anyway?

      Yes, downvote for asking why not fix your broken currency. That’ll encourage discussions.

      You asked:

      But thinking about it more why would a large denomination be any easy or harder to forge than a lower one?

      I explained why your large bills are easier to forge.

        He’s saying “ummmm” because we actually already do that. Fun fact :).

        And we use different colours for each note.

        But BTW, why the hostility to our… currency? Are you like a very patriotic IRS agent or something? Our currency isn’t any more broken or extra forgeable than any other country’s. I think you’ve extrapolated too much from seeing people bring up the occurence of forgeries on this one post.
