New £5 bill contains animal fat

Looks like the Brits didn't learn their lesson.

The final spark was provided by the ammunition for the new Enfield P-53 rifle.[27] These rifles, which fired Minié balls, had a tighter fit than the earlier muskets, and used paper cartridges that came pre-greased. To load the rifle, sepoys had to bite the cartridge open to release the powder.[28] The grease used on these cartridges was rumoured to include tallow derived from beef, which would be offensive to Hindus,[29] and pork, which would be offensive to Muslims.
 
Of all the shit (often times literally) that ends up on circulated money, traces of animal fat should be the least of any self-proclaimed health-conscious herbivore's worries. Also, what kind of stupid company name is "Innovia" Films? Instead of a plastic supplier to worldwide currency, it sounds like a B movie Hollywood studio.

On an unrelated note (no pun intended), will Trump and his Treasury secretary kill the Harriet Tubman bill?
 
Wondered why my new Churchie felt oh so good as I bought my bacon sammich this morning...

I was exchanging one for the other when they were made of the same thing.

Also FUCKING LOL at this revelation, it's awesome. I can now run throwing money at Vegans, veggies and Muzzies and for once they won't fucking want it.

Bonus points if you do that while scremaing "GIVE QUICE A CHANCE!!!!!" at the top of your voice as you kite one of them in the head with a fat wad of fivers, knocking the fucker out.

I am actually planning to take a veggie friend of mine to a vegan place we do know.

I am sorely fucking tempted to save as many fivers as I can between now and then to try and pay for it.
