Northern Ireland to announce new banknotes
The Bank of Ireland UK is set to introduce new banknotes this week with updated security features. The notes, in denominations of £5, £10, £20 and £50, will look similar to current banknotes but there will be a number of differences including the introduction of a hologram dual image for £10 and £20 banknotes and a dual image and filigree for the £50 note.
The £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes will also see the introduction of a wider security thread and there will be electrotype in the watermark in the form of Bank of Ireland chevrons. The new notes are dated 1st January 2013 and the signature on the new note is Stephen Matchett, Chief Financial Officer.
