Announcing this today, the Bank of England assured holders of the Elgar \u00a320 banknote that they could certainly use the notes up to, and including, 30 June. After that date the note will no longer have \u2018legal tender\u2019 status. The note will not have to be accepted in payment, or in change, in retail outlets after this date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor several months from the end of June banks, building societies and Post Offices will accept Elgar \u00a320 notes for deposit to customer accounts and for other customer transactions. Agreeing to exchange the notes for non-customers is at the discretion of the individual institution. The Bank of England will always give value for these notes (and all other banknotes the Bank has issued).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAndrew Bailey, the Bank of England\u2019s Chief Cashier, said, \u2018The Elgar \u00a320 banknotes were first introduced in 1999 and we introduced the Adam Smith \u00a320 banknotes three years ago. We said at the time that the two designs would circulate in tandem, with the Elgar notes gradually being withdrawn over the next few years. It is time now to withdraw the Elgar \u00a320 notes completely, with the Adam Smith \u00a320 banknotes to be the only \u00a320 note design continuing in circulation.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of Aidan Work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a Bank of England press release dated 8 March 2010, the 20-pound (US$30.10) note with the portrait of composer Sir Edward Elgar on back will cease to be legal tender after 30 June 2010. \u201cThis note has been gradually replaced by the Adam Smith \u00a320 which was introduced<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/?p=15622\">Read More\u2026<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15620,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[145],"class_list":["entry","author-owen-linzmayer","post-15622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-europe","tag-england"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15622"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19638,"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15622\/revisions\/19638"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banknotenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
