Time to do something exciting with it!

if you bring those broken notes to the bank and you have more than half the banknote you should be able to get a replacement. just say that it accidentally fell into a bottle of liquid nitrogen and then you happened to hit it with a hammer. that should answer all their questions

I really enjoy the curiosity behind these experiments. Theoretically you increased the value of the pounds you donated afterwards, even though you can't even measure it.

Excellent video. I found it very fun and educational to watch and listen to the experiments conducted. Thank you.

I felt an uncontrolable shudder go down my spine as the money touched the acid, It lasted for the whole video. Great work, it touched me on a deeper level.

I don't know why, but it was strangely satisfying to watch the treated note burn as the queen smiled at me.

Very insightful video! It's surprising how interesting the Chemistry of a £5 note can be. We'll done professor!

My god what a fantastic video. I can't believe the polymer didn't dissolve at all. Good on you Bank of England

I like how this ended up as a solid experiment that also got a student involved, good stuff

One of the best Periodic Video I have seen! This was extremely interesting. :-)

I bet it would have been a blast having this guy as a chemistry professor.

Finally the video on my recommended list! I last heard from the Professor (YT Videos ofcourse) in 2016!

Saddest thing is most uni students would still try to spend it.

I love these videos! How about a video showing what happens to the fumes after they are extracted in the fume cabinet?

It's been awhile .. 2yrs since my last comment ... Sir Martyn has become a genuine science journalist. ... beyond his resume' as a chemical science expert

As a bit of a chemistry nerd and pyromaniac seeing paper + fuming nitric acid made me grin.

Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928. ... V c.13) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom relating to banknotes. Among other things, it makes it a criminal offence to deface a banknote (but not to destroy one).

Just needed my daily dose of Neil and the Proffesor

"Adding NO2 groups to the paper" Gun cotton came into my head, from what I had learnt from an earlier video, and I was right. It's so wonderful when education is so well put across, and entertaining.

1:38 look at the eye of the queen Elizabeth

This entire video is beautiful.

I wish this gentleman had been my teacher at school!! I may still have been involved with science today if he had!

This was amazing thank you so much I have subscribed

I'd kill to go to that Uni. All their facilities are state of the art. Just imagine all the mad science to be done.

Watching from george green library. Came to this uni thanks to periodic videos.

Thanks CSIRO!

I'm glad you donated to charity. Thank you.

The Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff is such a cool dude !

Love your videos so badly professor, excelent as always 👌

Deconstructing bank notes.... chemistry and art merge together! I love this channel!!!

We have somewhat the same in Canada and they are pretty great bank note

Can you please show and explain more about the infrared spectroscopy analysis you did to determine the material?

Great video as always!👍

It's not about the money, it's about studying the chemistry

Beautiful video!!!!

such a great video. Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us :=)

+Periodic Videos Thanks for another "great little video" This gives a new meaning to "money burning a hole in Your pocket" ;) Best regards

What a savage guy he probably couldn't be asked analysing it so he gave it to his student!

Beautiful video as always

I'd be flabbergasted if the plastic remains of that note would be accepted at an ATM.

Would you guys be willing to do a video(s) on how cold welding works?

Can you do a full video on scientific glass blowers? Does the university have one in house?

I am so drawing mustaches on all my notes if I ever visit the UK.

Star struck seeing the professor himself in the local Sainsbury's a while ago haha, didn't bother him though I am only a lowly first year computer scientist.

I'm from Poland and I've got that bank note! It's great.

Very interesting video, thankyou

This video is awesome!

I love you professor, Neil your too!

I love when he says whoosh!

Neil casually pulls 'fuming' Nitric Acid out of pocket... Professor: "Who the h3ck are you?"

No queens were harmed in the making of this video.

This guy is the physical manifestation of science.

I wish they'd do a video on the science behind the professor's hair. I'm sure that they would find a lot of things previously unknown in nature! lol Adore his hair!!

If my uni allows me to do this kind of experiment, I wouldn't skip classes anymore

I like that they added a little more actual chemistry, rather than just blow something up. And they managed to do it in a way that was actually broadly interesting, too.

I like the fact that at least £20 was destroyed in a building full of students that are all probably short of money themselves in the name of science!

We have the same type of paper notes in Canada for a couple years now, luckily if we accidentally put it in the dryer.. it will shrink BUT if we go to the bank, they WILL change it for us.

I sincerely enjoy thank you

What a brilliant video :)

Nice experiments. Love science!

This is excellent!

The experiment was very interesting. I didn't expect the new note to be a clear piece of plastic. :)

The material used is Mylar (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate), one of the most resistant plastics ever developed. The cost of making these- mainly due to the nanotech features directly embedded into the plastic- is actually higher in some cases than the face value of the note.

cool idea probably not the first but can u do the effect of helium on bubbles do they float? would they even form?, what about bubbling it into soapy water, would bubble float up and away? or would it make lighter than air foam? would be interesting regardless of the result, anyways great videos keep it up!!!

How does it do against melting. We in Canada had a bit of an issue were money left in a glovebox would turn into slag.

Isn't adding NO3 groups nitrating, instead of NO2? Or am I missing something here?

GREAT VID!!!!

that acid thing seems like how you wash bills to reprint them as higher forged notes

Is there another way to create flash paper? The whole nitrate process seems a bit dodgy to do at home, but as I use the stuff fairly frequently would be nice to have a stockpile.

Thanks for making my money more valuable!

You can spend it!!! You don't need 100% of it... but it is down to the Bank of England to decide on a case by case basis if they will honor it (you post it to them/follow the instructions they give). [Edit] But you cannot spend the one that went up in smoke!

Where can I get that tie?

You should do a video about mechanochemistry next!

So do these go through x-ray's alright? I have had some CD jewels cases melt to CDs after going through some x-ray machines.

Once we tried this type of note in Brazil, but it would fade away with time, mainly because of the friction in the pocket or wallet

And i couldn't resist to grin as i watched the queen burning.... nice video, thumps up !

I so wish you'd been my chemistry teacher back in the late 70s. I *hated* chemistry - mainly because I had really crap teachers. These days I'm fascinated by it, and my eldest is now nearly a doctor of medical biochemistry and genetics. I'm a very proud mum :-) (though I still beat him on physics, something else I had to learn as an adult! LOL)

If I understand correctly, N2O4 arises from the equilibrium of NO2 reacting with itself and that the NO2 results from the acid decomposing. Therefore, N2O4 would not be artificially added to the nitric acid.

Is fuming nitric acid better at cleaning glassware than piranha solution?

The Queen would be not amused about that behaviour...nice video!

great one. well memed

I love science like this. I would love to meet you professor I wanna work with this stuff. I am very bad in chemistry but you could teach. You are so smart it must feel so insae to be so smart.
