Everything we do over here is ridiculous.
I suppose it might make them more convenient to handle. Not sure though - anyone used them elsewhere?

Don't think it's ridiculous, just different.
More convenient to handle? What, like doing this?

These have obviously not been fully QA or regression tested. What about when they are in a wallet or purse or will there be a new line of wallets and purse to cater for these
By a new vertical purse/ wallet from China....
just jokin’
So determined to be different it comes over as forced. Sad and pathetic.
I honestly don't get how having the note with some writing 'vertical' will help. I hold my wallet horizontally, so therefore read the text (if I still had to, such as if I was unfamiliar with the currency) in its horizontal orientation. Text vertical will just mean extracting the notes and having to rotate them to the vertical position to read, which is more of a faff.
Utterly pointless as far as I can tell.
It's cash, it'll get spent pretty quickly whichever way its printed!
Have enough trouble spending Northern Irish notes in London as it is (actually not been too bad for the last few years but that's not as funny).
When is April 1st in Northern Ireland then ???
I quite like it, however cash is becoming a thing of the past anyway.
Done long time ago in The Netherlands, late 80s as a matter of fact. The Lighthouse as it was called! Designed by Robert Oxenaar. We miss our own banknotes every day... BTW, I like the designs of the new UK notes!
