pound note

British paper money

A pound note is British paper currency worth one pound sterling.

The Bank of England stopped issuing pound notes in 1984, replacing them with coins, though Scottish and Channel Islands banks still produce them.

The term persists in British speech and appears in older contexts: He slipped the cabbie a pound note.
