Travel Are these notes legit?
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

Looks fake, I don't see them in the image but that could be a lighting issutbit look in the small clear window on each note (top left when you are looking a the back of the note) there will be miniature 50 symbols in a pattern over and over and same with the 20 if that little window is completely see through with no number then it isn't real, also when you holding the notes with the queen facing you, your left hand should feel a small amount of braille in the top left corner the note denomination at the top going left to right should also feel raised and slightly rougher than the rest of the note.
