<prompt> Human: dating back to 93. Are they still active? I was going to go to the bank and get them exchanged for some . They are actual British postal order notes  <response>: Postal order notes or pound notes?Pound notes ceased to be legal tender in 1988.If its a withdrawn Bank of England bank note then you can only exchange them at the actual Bank of England not at a high street bank. You can do that in person or by mail. If its a postal order, then a it needs to be made out to you and b cashing a postal order older than six months old is entirely at the post offices discretion.
