"Five hundred thousand" in the first note is set in Americana, which I find incredibly ironic. "pounds", oddly enough, seems to be something different, perhaps a Garamond or some similar Garalde face. "Bank of England" looks like Weiss, but I'm not sure.

I would just like to repeat that part of the type on Britain's currency is set in an a typeface of American origin, and what's more—it's called Americana. Stunning! We can haz'd all ur munnies.

£500,000 notes don't exist, it was some counterfeiting gang trying to forge copies... might be an idea to forge notes that actually exist... so no Americana on our notes!
