Withdrawal of Banknote
From 30 June, the Bank of England is withdrawing from circulation the old style £20 note featuring Sir Edward Elgar. The £20 note featuring Adam Smith will remain in circulation.
Retail outlets may refuse to accept the Elgar £20 after this date. Banks, building societies and post offices should accept the notes for deposit to customer accounts and for other customer transactions for several months after the end of June.
Exchange of Elgar notes is at the discretion of individual banks and building societies. The Bank of England will always exchange its old notes.
You can find more information about the withdrawal of the Elgar £20 banknote, including what the different banknotes look like, on the Bank of England website at: www.bankofengland.co.uk.
