    I think this is one of those funny anonamalies that the Brtish are well known for that whilst the £20.00p is legal tender it has been designed for Collectors and is not for use in the general public, sounds a bit strange to me but as far as I can see that is how the law stands at the present time. I will of course stand corrected.

    Did the £20 coin ever happen ?

    Meanwhile;

    New £20 note featuring painter JMW Turner unveiled.

    The new polymer £20 note was unveiled by Bank of England governor Mark Carney on Thursday at an event in Margate, home to the Turner Contemporary art gallery.

    Turner, one of Britain’s most famous landscape painters, was announced as the new face of the £20 note in 2016. Carney said at the time that Turner was “perhaps the single most influential British artist of all time.”

    Features of the new note include:

    A see-through window with blue and gold foil depicting Margate lighthouse and the Turner Contemporary gallery;
    JMW Turner’s self-portrait, which was painted around 1799 and is currently on display in Tate Britain;
    Turner’s painting The Fighting Temeraire, which depicts thee HMS Temeraire in Nelson’s victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The painting hangs in the National Gallery and was voted the nation’s favourite painting in a 2005;
    The quote “Light is therefore colour” from an 1818 lecture by Turner;
    Turner’s signature from his Will.
    The new note, which was first announced in 2015, will enter circulation in February 2020. It is the first £20 to be produced on polymer and joins the new £5 and £10 notes in using the material. A new polymer £50 note, featuring codebreaker Alan Turing, is set to launch in 2021.
