2016 is the year where four banks issued £5 polymer banknotes in the United Kingdom. They are the Bank of England (13.09.2016), Clydesdale Bank (27.09.2016), Bank of Scotland (04.10.2016) and The Royal Bank of Scotland (27.10.2016). Whilst both the Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank have previously issued polymer notes, this is the first time that the Bank of England has issued a polymer note in their current banknotes series. The Bank of England also intends to release two more polymer notes (£10 and £20) over the next few years. However, it is not sure if the £50 will also be converted into polymer material too. This note bears the signature of the Chief Cashier Victoria Mary Florence Cleland. She was appointed to the current role in March 2014. First prefix of this issue is AA01 with AM as the last letter prefix. It is not clear if AM60 is the last prefix yet, or the number could be higher. This note is printed with a year date of 2015.

According to a report, 440m printed with prefix AA to AM, with 60m of each prefix printed. Based on this information given, I am unable to work these out unless I know all the prefixes printed i.e. AA01, AA02 etc.
