Buying England by the pound

I did a little currency exchange so I'd have some cash on me when I get to the UK. The bank gave me £20 notes.


Look at all those hologram hoolies. This is some hi tech currency. It's weird as an American to see a genuine monarch on a bill. The fellow on the back was completely unfamiliar.

It turns out to be the artist JMW Turner whom I've never heard of. I look forward to tipping cabbies and buying pints with these notes.
