Trials of the new Ulster Bank £5 and £10
The Ulster pound is taking a turn in a new direction with vertical banknotes. What will be the only sterling banknotes of upright orientation in circulation are being printed by Ulster Bank. The polymer £5 and £10 banknotes have entered circulation in Northern Ireland. All four of Northern Ireland's banks print their own money, a tradition which dates back to the 19th century Ulster Bank, which is part of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), has released the designs of its new polymer banknotes, which will replace its paper currency. They are based on the theme 'living in nature'.
£5 note features Strangford Lough in County Down and Brent Geese. £10 denomination shows Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, the Irish hare and Guelder-rose shrubs.
The bank announced last year that it would be following the Bank of England by printing plastic money. However, Ulster Bank is going a step further with the new format. Switzerland and Canada (who will introduce a vertical $10 note later in 2018), are among the few countries that have banknotes which are vertical in orientation.
At the end of February 2019 three Irish banks issued new polymer banknotes

Irish Banks have decided to not let collectors obtain banknotes from their branches, this is a blow to collectors and a short sighted policy on behalf of the Banks as any banknotes bought by a collector is a 100% profit and can only have been good for the Irish economy
