Does anyone know if £50 notes (british pounds) are accepted at bureau de changes in Riyadh? Any personal experience would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you tweaked. I ask because some countries do not like the £50 note for fear of forgeries. Many outlets in the UK also refuse to accept £50 notes.

What about "slightly worn" notes? Are they fussy about the condition of the money?

yes there are fussy about worn out notes, especially if its not a commonly used note. it really depends on the person, however, while most are expert on identifying fakes, the ones that are no sure just decline instantly. Most also use the machines if they are not sure.
