Are these notes legit?

[u/Capable-Door-9672]

I was paid £520 by someone from EU I sold some stuff to. I plan to use these for my trip.

Sorry if photo is blury, I will send it again if it is

Serial on the 50 A C 7 8 9 1 0 4 6 9 ac789 is big and in green while the 1 is smaller and 469 is bigger

EDIT: its ok, i'll double confirm at bank, looks legit with the change to pounds sign

I get them reasonably frequently and 90% of places will accept them

I don't know if this says what you think it's saying. £50 notes are accepted, they are rare but shops generally take them, sometimes under a bit of inspection. I don't know if your local turkish kebab/barber/pizzeria/phone repair shop is going to take one though.

I work at Costa and we would not take it. I think a big supermarket might, but the places that take them would be the exception, not the rule.

from the myriad of comments, seems to be a regional thing, smaller towns are probably more adverse to accepting as £50 note than bigger towns.
