I just found this out, but I'm rather curious to know from a more official source - which would be the UK brethren up in this joint. But, is it true there's no 1 pound paper note? Or a 100 pound one for that matter? I checked the Bank of England's website to make sure, I don't see any mention of them. Just rather surprised there isn't one, and would like to know for certain.

I'd rather be phishing!

Totally agree, just curious in case someone just didn't get around to updating the website. You never know.

They existed, but were discontinued. Looked like this[^].
edit: looks like RBS still prints some (which are of course different, but they're still one pound notes). I have never seen one of or even heard of their existence, but then I don't live there.

Out of curiosity... why were they discontinued?

Because they ripped holes in people's pockets and they were too heavy to carry around for long. Could you imagine carrying around 100 pounds to go shopping?

Cost. The price of printing the note was exceeding the value of the note itself!
(It's all special papers, special inks, hugely expensive printing plates and presses, serializing, etc., etc.)
Coins are cheaper to produce.

I don't think it's the cost. Banknotes are relatively cheap to produce (smaller nominal values can have less fancy protection).
I think it's more likely due to the inflation. Less valuable coins became more useless and they needed something to throw into parking and vending machines.
Actually, I have no clue and I think I have never pound in my hands ever, but it's a fun thread.
