Hi Nick,

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you found the ordering process easy, but we're sorry you weren't able to receive your preferred denominations. Our bureaux should assist with denomination requests where stock is available, so we're disappointed to hear this wasn't your experience.

We'll share your comments with the relevant team to help us improve.
