The Bank of England has no plans to replace or phase out the £50 note, because the current design (featuring Boulton and Watt) was only issued 13 years ago, on 2 November 2011. The previous version, featuring Sir John Houblon, came into use in 1994 and lasted 20 years. On 23 June 2021, the £50 note continues in polymer form, with Alan Turing.

Although the European Central Bank is merely not issuing new €500 notes from 2018, there will continue to be €100 and €200 notes, both of which are still worth more than £50 or $100 (as of 11 September 2016).
