Revealed: Where to find the Harry Kane fivers as the search for notes spreads across the UK
Harry Kane £5 notes are in circulation in the UK and people looking to get their hands on one can now narrow down their search after fresh details of their whereabouts emerged.
Micro engraver Graham Short has created six fivers which contain a special tribute to the England striker after he won the Golden Boot award at the World Cup in Russia.
Each note features a 5mm portrait of the England captain and carries the engraving ‘World Cup Golden Boot Winner 2018’ to commemorate the historic moment.
Short chose to limit the number to six in a nod to the six goals the Tottenham striker banged in for England in Russia to clinch him the award.

The rare items are said to be worth around £50,000 each and have sparked a frenzied search across the British Isles to try and hunt down the cash.
Two of the six fivers are already out of reach after Short presented the first pair he created to Three Lions skipper Kane and to the Football Association as gifts.
However, the remaining four are still up for grabs and have been scattered across the UK to try and distribute them as far and wide as possible.
One entered circulation in Meriden, a village between Coventry and Solihull which is roughly in the geographical centre of England.
Short spent the second in Edinburgh at the Elephant House coffee shop where JK Rowling first began writing her legendary Harry Potter books.

He used another of the fivers to buy a bottle of water at Bal Off Licence on the High Street in Cefn Coed in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, while the last note will be spent in Northern Ireland.
It’s not the first time Short, 72, has performed such a stunt. He previously added a Jane Austen portrait to several £5 notes and these have been valued at around at £50,000.
