John looked up from his flower bed to see a fiver fluttering in free flow over his fence. As an avid collector he tried to pluck it out of the air but a sudden gust of wind sent it next door.

 

He needed fivers for his day to day spending and had a regular supply in his local cash machine until last week when a new all singing, all dancing dispenser was installed. Obeying its touch screen orders out popped crisp ten and twenty pound notes. Not a fiver in sight.

 

John wondered what would happen if they all disappeared.
