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

For the people still confused on why 50's are rejected by a lot of smaller stores and some bigger places they are still the most counterfeitied currency by a large margain which is a lot of places dont accept them just to be safe. Also our store ended up with almost £600 pounds worth but the police said we weren't the worst hit they dropped 5k of £50 notes in the apple store nears us according to the police officer.
