but none of those. Elgar's £20 will remain tender at the BoE, the note i'm thinking of is going to be outlawed.

welcome Rossy. yes, it is the 500 euro note for the reasons you say. it is by far the most valuable banknote in a sensible currency.

<------- is the pattern on the old Elgar £20 but you can check your own wallets to see it on the other UK notes. the same thing is used all over the world in different ways.
