Can you show me what you've got here
0:02
Just a collection of the new 510, 20 and 50 with a king's head on it
0:08
From today, new banknotes with the king's portrait on them will be in distribution
0:13
But it could be a while until they're fully in circulation. Come with me to chat to some of the first people to get their hands on them
0:20
So you've just come out of the Bank of England. What have you been doing here today? I've exchanged money to get my hands on the first notes with the king
0:27
So I shipped to your 50 perhaps. Ooh, it's very special. And how does it feel to be one of the first people to have your hands on them
0:35
Yes, it feels very special. A novelty turns a bit exciting, a bit of novelty. It's quite the experience

The day you've been looking forward to for a while, have you planned it? Yeah, I'm a diary for like over a year
0:45
Yeah, so I'm so exciting. Over a year, you've been waiting to come and get the note
0:48
Yes, because last time when the 20 pound new notes come out, I was here 4 o'clock in the morning
0:53
What are your thoughts of the portrait on the new note? I was a little bit surprised that he looks much younger
