18 November 2025
The Commissioners of Currency are delighted to announce that a new £5 note, in a special presentation pack, will be gifted to every child in the Falkland Islands who is 16 or under along with those who completed their time at the Falkland Islands Community School (FICS) in 2025.
The notes for the children in the Infant Junior Schol and Camp Education and FICS will be posted through FPS Ltd. Please be advised that this may take some time and the notes will be waiting in the post for your child in due course.
The notes for the children resident at MPC will be delivered to the MPC school to organise distribution to school age children and those younger children resident there.
Pat Clunie, FIG Financial Secretary said: “I’m delighted that our children will be gifted this note, commemorating the launch of our new bank notes, which will serve as a reminder of this historic event”.
For the parents of children who have not yet started school or for those who left school in 2025 please contact Tessa Berntsen at [email protected] to arrange for a note to be sent to you or to organise for you to make collection from the Treasury.
