It's mainly an anti-counterfeit thing to have that much info on them.

Fact is, there's even more that you can't see, there's microwriting on them too (can't find an image, but on the £5 and probably all others) and it's almost unnoticeable without magnification.

Can anyone find an image of this?

Thanks, that's excellent! I couldn't find a thing just now whereas I could find an example few years ago no problem - is it me or is google search getting totally shit?

I struggle with Google search. I've tried using it like people used to use AskJeeves and sometimes that works and others it just fails.

For this search using the words "bank notes" first in the list of search terms ruined the results.
