While the value of the British pound sterling has been on the decline over the last few weeks, some music-loving Brits have found an alternative use for the new plastic five-pound-note, using it to play vinyl records.
The corners of the new note act as a surprisingly good stylus, mimicking the action of a record player’s needle.
