Collectors are expected to clamour to purchase a piece of artwork created by a Dundee school pupil.
Bank of Scotland’s first polymer banknote has been limited to just 50 notes, each of which will go under the hammer at auction to raise money for BBC Children in Need.
Each bears a special design created by 13-year-old Morgan Academy pupil Kayla Robson.
The charity’s mascot, Pudsey Bear, makes a special appearance on the note with Kayla’s design depicting him raising a Saltire.
Kayla visited the De La Rue building to see the notes being printed and said it had been fantastic to see her design brought to life.
With the notes rolling off the presses, Kayla has become a record breaker in more ways than one as the release of the £5 notes is the smallest ever issue of a banknote in the UK.
It is also the first UK note to have been designed by a child.
Those firsts, coupled with the note’s rarity and the unique PUDSEY serial numbers on the first 40 should make them extremely popular.
The remaining 10 banknotes will be available for personalised serial numbers and are expected to be sold for hundreds of pounds when they are sold at auction in December.
Bank of Scotland managing director Annette Barnes, said: “This new five pound note is brighter and bolder than most other banknotes in circulation and really brings to life what BBC Children in Need means to so many people.
“Kayla did a fantastic job with her design and I am delighted to see how we have been able to incorporate it into our first polymer banknote.”
Earlier this year the bank became the second in Scotland, after the Clydesdale, to announce a switch to polymer notes.
It is hoped they will prove more durable than traditional paper notes and be more difficult to counterfeit.
The design of the main replacement polymer £5 note will be unveiled in early 2016 with the note itself issuing in the second half of the year.
