There are a few £5 coins about that are legal tender but they usually end up
in the hands of collectors

Bout time the fiver was scrapped of and made coin only at one time if
you had a fiver in your pocket you felt you where rich but not any
more.
You can't even get them from the "wailing wall".

Which is itself a bigger problem as there would appear
to be no other way of getting them into circulation.

The BoE has loads of fivers, printed and ready to
ship, to replace all the tatty worn out notes that are
still circulated and the high street banks don't want
to take them.

Apart from some commemorative coins which don't circulate. The Five
Pounds coin replaces the traditional Crown in that area.

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 the
wall machines two or four times more often.

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

Because it would take ten minutes longer and eat into your lunch hour ?

Crap.

ATMs aren't the only way notes get into circulation.

Many shops take wodges of 'em from the bank for till floats.

When our local wailing wall had £5s and £10s it would always run out on
a Saturday lunch time. Now it has £10s and £20s it seems to be good
for the whole of the weekend.

Now that I think about it, there are a lot of worn fivers out there, and not
many worn tenners or twenties.

Crap.

But if the banks aren't getting new fivers from the BoE, the shops are
getting old fivers from the banks.
