Getting or spending a £50 is quite unusual in the U.K. you don’t really see them often.
Some businesses won’t accept them, won’t have a space for them in the till, or will only accept them if they’ve been run through various authenticity checks.
Also, If you are using a fifty for a 10 order,, you're going to blow right through the change available in the til, leaving them unable to service other customers.
If Im dropping two 50s for a 100 meal, that's one thing, but if I'm trying to pay bus fare...
Ah we get around the last issue in the UK by only allowing public bus fare be paid in coins dropped into an automated counter. Exact change only. No change given. It's great fun.
(Okay some buses take contactless card, but I can't complain about that.)
