If I go to the band machine and take out $100, and it comes out in 5 $20 brand new bills... they stick, and this is always how it comes out. That's where you have to be careful.

..yeah I was actually thinking about that when I got it../your sticky thread.....I think that it'll be obvious in the feel of them, if you have more than one..so that will make you double check..?....new notes tend to stick anyway../the paper ones also are hard to separate but when you have new notes, you tend to be aware of that and check more closely...

We've had a run of plastic £5 notes in circulation in scotland for about a year... it's not really a huge problem. I handle fairly large volume cash transactions on a daily basis and at speed - this has always been a slight issue with new notes. In my experience, paper £10 notes are the worst for sticking. The polymer ones actually slide apart more obviously during counting than new paper ones.

This is why the first thing I do when I get a stack of crisp new notes... is crush the **** out of them . Then alternate them front-to-back and voila - no chance of two sticking together. It's also a strangely satisfying feeling. They're so fresh and perfect... sometimes you just want to destroy something beautiful...

Load of bollox Scotland has had plastic fivers for over a year and i never had a problem with them sticking together.

Never had my fivers sticking together

[LemonJam]

in fairness US dollars are actually much worse for sticking together and plastic notes only really stick when they're in mint condition. Loads of places do them now, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Vietnam Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, infact plastic notes stick less than paper if anything.

That's so true about US Dollars, I went in October and got money from a cash machine and it all looked brand new and it was all stuck together, I was lucky I made a mistake of handing over two $20 instead of one to a nice person who warned me or I'd have been screwed over

New Plastic £10 note


Made before they said New fivers could stick together

[Amy Jade]

Been handling these all last week in work, even had customers specifically asking for them in their change (and getting narky when I didnt have one haha) and they dont stick together. Maybe if they got wet but in general they're not sticky.
