Easy Money!

Easy money????

Easy money? That is if you find that you have one of the four elusive £5 notes featuring the tiny portrait of Jane Austen engraved as an extra item and although defacing of bank notes renders them illegal these ones have the official seal of approval the Bank of England so they are legal tender. When the story first broke a couple of weeks ago they were initially been valued at £20,000 each but according to the BBC News item “£5 bank note worth £50,000 spent in Melton Mowbray Pie Shop.” Which represents quite a jump for a couple of weeks and suggests that once they start turning up the value will only increase.

The” extra” engraving was carried out by artist Graham Short who came up with the idea of engraving a 5mm portrait of Pride and Prejudice author Austen on the transparent part of the new plastic Bank of England £5 notes to mark the 200th anniversary of Austen’s death next year. The actual whereabouts of the notes is not known but we do know where they were launched into circulation –

A Kelso bakers

A Melton Mowbray Pie Shop

A café in Wales

And TBA somewhere in Northern Ireland

Each of the Jane Austen portraits is engraved with a different quotation from one of her novels

Just to make it a little easier to find these notes (ha ha!) here are the serial numbers and quotations that you need to look for –

• AM32 885551: “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more,” from the Austen novel, Emma
• AM32 885552: “To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love,” from Pride and Prejudice
• AM32 885553: “A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of,” from the Austen novel, Mansfield Park
• AM32 885554: “I hope I never ridicule what is wise or good,” from Pride and Prejudice
