This lesson is all about the banknotes that are in
current use in England. There are in fact four different

size banknotes and you will see photos of three of
them. The unit of currency in Britain is the pound £

and the current banknotes are £5, £10, £20 and £50.

exchange rate will be slightly different.

The £5 note is coloured turquoise as you can see from

the photo, there is a portrait of the Queen on the front
and a portrait of Winston Churchill on the back,
