If so it's because they too have no means of getting them into
circulation since they don't want to reload the ATMs aka hole in

wall machines two or four times more often.

Why not cash a cheque over the bank counter and ask for new fivers
?

I personally would love to do this, but I bet if I did
they would still expect me to take 5 twenties

It's the cashier's job to give you the denominations you ask for (in
the old days you wrote it on the back of the cheque).

They might only have old fivers of course so a visit to the Bank of
England might be necessary with 2 x £50.
