Best Answer

You should be able to do this but the bank usually asks you if you are a customer of their bank. If you are not then they can refuse you. If you have a large amount of notes you may have to take or send them to the Bank of England in Threadneedle St, London to be changed up at face value. You should make an appointment before-hand to do this though.

A better option may be to sell them on an auction website or to a coin and banknote dealer.

You do not 'purchase' bank notes unless they are rare collectable examples, £100 notes are legal tender throughout the UK, however only the Scottish Banks actually print them (The Bank of England does not) and as such they are generally only available from Scottish banks to withdraw or exchange.

£100 note is the largest banknote in the UK, although it is only printed in Scotland and Northern Ireland, not many of these notes are in circulation in England and Wales.
