History

In October 1999 a special polymer version featuring an illustration of the Space Shuttle was issued in celebration of the millennium. It was the first polymer banknote used in the United Kingdom.[1] After the Northern Bank robbery in which £26.5 million was stolen, Northern Bank reprinted all of its banknotes with different designs apart from the £5 note which was not replaced.
