I have been doing a bit of filing, and came across this National £1 note pic which expands the recorded prefixes from 44NA to 45NA.

A nice find and interesting to see that the note shows signs of circulation. Impressive also to see the 10% of outstanding notes milestone achieved for the Ploughman Scan Survey

I have been waiting to get to the 10% mark for a while!
