【Watch I Don't Love You Yet Online】

A social media campaign is Watch I Don't Love You Yet Onlinecalling on people to donate their first £5 notes -- which entered circulation last Tuesday -- to charity.

The new polymer fivers, featuring Sir Winston Churchill, are made from a thin, flexible plastic material that is resistant to dirt and moisture, making them much more durable than traditional paper notes.

England joins Scotland, which issued 2 million polymer fivers last year, and Australia which has been, issuing liquid resistant banknotes for decades. 

The campaign was launched by John Thompson, a fundraiser and recruiter, who announced on Twitter that he was going to donate his first new five pound note to charity. He also started a poll on Twitter and created the hashtag #firstfiver, which went viral after being championed by the Institute of Fundraising.
