Two Northern Ireland banks announce polymer notes
From the BBC: "Two Northern Ireland banks have announced a switch to polymer £5 and £10 notes. The new Danske Bank and Bank of Ireland currency will enter circulation in February 2019. (...)
Danske Bank's new £10 polymer note will be similar in design to its current paper note, bearing a portrait of inventor John Dunlop. (...) Bank of Ireland is to produce new £5 and £10 notes, with the polymer versions retaining the image of Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim.
Both banks will also introduce polymer £20 notes in 2020 or 2021. (...) Neither has said when the paper note equivalents will cease to be accepted, but they will be gradually removed from circulation."
