Artist hints to whereabouts of last £5 note worth £50,000
Only one £5 note (of four) engraved with a tiny portrait of Jane Austen by micro-artist Graham Short remains in circulation.
Three of the notes, estimated to be worth around £50,000, have been discovered in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland - with the fourth put into circulation somewhere in England.
The artist told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 live: "I spent that in a pie shop. I bought a pork pie in Melton Mowbray." although it's exact location remains a mystery.
"I don't know where it will turn up; I don't know how far these notes travel."
The serial number of the remaining note is AM32885554
