That is why we don't map the actual rating, only the id.

Hopefully not £50 notes for some time yet, they are just about impossible to spend as few places will accept them. £20 can still be awkward to spend. Surprises me that in the eurozone I often get €50 notes and nowhere bats an eyelid. > In the end, though, if enough people want do to it they'll do it, so > all we can do here is try to come up with a > sensible way of tagging it then document it. > > We already have currency:XXX=yes/no (a proposal but the iD editor has > supported it for a while).

But that is closing soon. I have never had £5 notes from the Barclays in Shrewsbury. Banks (and with them ATMs) are currently one of the most volatile amenities which we need to keep on top of to prevent the map becoming outdated. That is a big enough job for mappers without worrying about what notes it dispenses. Phil (trigpoint)
