Just to go back to this; while you say your notes don't include anything, they could. Like if somebody wrote an url to an illicit website on your £5 note and you knew it was there would possessing that note be a crime? How about when you spend it, are you then engaging in criminal distribution?
The only things I've seen written on bank notes are numbers (up to 3 digits and probably an accounting aid). I wouldn't enter a url so discovered into a browser like I don't click links in e-mails from strangers. Why would I?
I wouldn't enter a url I found in a bitcoin transaction either.
... and you couldn't exchange it for a clean bitcoin even if you wanted to.
