BANK OF ENGLAND READIES POLYMER £50

The Bank of England has awarded the substrate contract for the coming polymer £50 to CCL Secure and De La Rue.

The new, eight-year contracts with the two companies also includes additional polymer for future production of the existing £5 and £10 notes, which have been on polymer stock since 2016 and 2017 respectively.

When the £50 becomes polymer it will complete the Bank's move from traditional cotton bankmote paper to polymer across all note denominations.
