The December Philatelic Bulletin says the 50p, £1, £1.50, £2, £3 and £5 will now all come only in this new style with the four slits and the iridescent ink featuring a security pattern on the darker background colour around the Queens head.
My impression is that values above £1 are not available in post offices- only from philatelic bureau. So wouldn't have thought there is much mis-use.
In the meantime I notice that POs here in cornwall seem no longer to have the PiP 1st and 2nd class stamps available - even though in theory they were withdrawn. i wonder if this is to save the PO reprinting in advance of the security featured stamps.
Although I recognise why the PO is moving to these security stamps, it is going to make life difficult for collectors of used machins.
Error in last post.
Sorry I should have said the Cornwall POs seem to have ONLY the PiP 1st and 2nd class stamps (i.e. with the large typeface). Sorry!
