British Pound Notes Font

Hi

Does anybody know which fonts are used on the British pound notes? The script font, sans-serif and the serifs too?

Thanks

Type on banknotes is always custom, for obvious reasons.

I think you'll also find that most fonts on money are hand engraved, again to make them unique and difficult to copy.

The script is similar to Parchment, an old PLINC typeface which, I believe, ships with Windows...
