The New Fiver - Bank of England
The new £5 note was issued on Tuesday 13 September.
The New Fiver is the first note to be made from polymer, a flexible plastic material, and it features Sir Winston Churchill.
You can continue to spend paper £5 notes as usual until 5 May 2017. After this they will cease to be legal tender.
According to the Manchester Evening News:
Serial numbers that could see you make money if you list them on eBay.
AA notes are currently listed on eBay for as much as £500.
AK47 notes are also selling on the site for as much as £80,000.
There's been an initial print-run of 440 million new £5 notes to mark the start of the old notes' withdrawal.
The notes can be used to de-ice your windscreen, but like using your debit or credit card - buying a plastic scraper may be a better option!
