00:00 Those are new notes. 50s, 20s. We've travelled up from York yesterday for today.
00:07 Purely to get the new banknotes for my own collection and for my grandson's collection.
00:13 So that's it basically.
00:15 And this is a very big day isn't it? How much will these banknotes mean to you?
00:19 Well, to be honest with you, it's just the fact that they're the new banknotes for the new king on.
00:24 So obviously we've got all the old ones for the queen on and for the prince. So yes, it's big.
00:30 And your grandson will be impressed. He loves having new notes.
00:37 He loves collecting them. He's only got 50 pound notes, but that's him.
