bank note numbers



Why don't organizations that store and transport bank notes have a
machine that reads all the serial numbers, then the Bank of England
could just cancel all those that get stolen ?.
These numbers would be announced and everyone warned not to take them
as payment as no bank will ever credit them to an account.
Better still,we need to move to a cashless economy now, to stop all
these robberies.
