Cash users have been given a warning that paper £20 and £50 notes will become void in just six months time.
They will have until September 30, 2022 to use the banknotes, however if not used the Bank of England will allow Brits to exchange their £20 and £50 notes once the deadline is passed, Birmingham Live reports.
The Chief Cashier at the Bank of England, Sarah John, said: "We want to remind the public that from today they only have six months left to spend or deposit their paper £20 and £50 notes. Over the past few years we have been changing our banknotes from paper to polymer, because these designs are more difficult to counterfeit, whilst also being more durable.
