When you collect especially older Scottish banknotes from the era of coal
miners, you will come to recognise notes which have been handled by coal
miners as they are notably dirtier and worse for the wears than notes which
saw service say in Edinburgh in the quaint boutiques on the Royal Mile.

On larger denomination notes such as £5 on up there are often dark stains in
the upper right hand corner of the note from counting wax used by bankers
when they were counting notes.

Observe notes and you can tell a lot about how and even probably where they
were likely in circulation.
