The notes are fully backed by sterling and accepted in more than 100 local businesses.

They are being printed to the usual high design standard and are a welcome addition to the current Lewes Pound notes.

Previous special issues marking the Mumford & Sons weekend, the opening of The Depot cinema and the celebrations of the 750th anniversary of the Battle of Lewes were very well received.
