Cash deposit -declined

Cash won't be king when it all kicks off, it'll be as
I always pay cash unless its something that I need a paper trail for, beer at local pay cash, meal out pay cash, sold my boat a couple of years ago 12k needed it to go into bank as was laundering it (paid cash for boat) 12k in briefcase at bank, me leather jacket and wrap around sunnies for effect, had the tellers s#####g themselves, but but but we need to know where it came from, me pornography, drugs and prostitution, all other customers pizzing themselves.
Absolute bullsh:t.
 
Recently my mate found an envelope with £650 in old notes at the back of his wardrobe, he took it into barclays and they paid it into his account, no problems. I always thought old notes had to be sent direct to the bank of England?

When I was at Lloyds many moons ago we used to exchange old notes if intact. Didn't get any really old ones though - like large white fivers. Don't know if we could have taken anything from that far back.

Only notes that we gave customers a special envelope to were ones with badly damaged notes - current or old - often with some of the note(s) missing as well. It was up to them to send it off and deal with the BOE themselves in that case.
 
I don't carry much in the way of cash, and recently I had accumulated £500, in my back pocket, so I decided to try to bank most of it, using the local Post Office. Young girl behind counter, I gave her £400, she counted it, booked it in, I swiped my TSB card in their reader, typed in the pin - DECLINED. The girl thought, maybe too large an amount in cash, and so tried again with £200 - again DECLINED appeared on the screen. I'm pretty certain \i got the pin correct, but what might the DECLINED mean?
AML regulations?
 
AML kicks in at 3k I think. If you try to withdraw more than that it's a problem without a reason. "Buying a car" works I believe.

Just a few years ago I had a lot of expired "Elgars". A bldg soc said I'd have to take them to the Bank of England in London, which I knew was nonsense but they wouldn't have it. I paid them into a proper bank.
