Tallow is rendered cow or mutton fat, but for the sake of argument let's go with cows here.
How much do cows weigh? Between 1,100kg for a male (bull) and 720kg for a female. So, on average, a cow weighs 910kg.
The body fat content of an average cow is 25 percent. Therefore, the amount of fat in an average cow's body is 227.5kg.
How many kilograms of this fat is contained in offcuts you could use to make tallow? About 40kg, according to a man at the James Elliott butcher in Islington.
How much tallow is used in one note, according to the Bank of England? "A trace", which chemically means less than 100 parts per million, or 0.01 percent. A polymer consultant I called confirmed that the tallow present in a given polymer would be a fraction of a single percentage.
New £5 notes weigh 0.7g, therefore there is roughly 0.00007 g of tallow present in one £5 note.
How many fivers are in circulation now, and therefore will be around by May of 2017, when all the old paper ones have been phased out? 329 million notes.
To work out how much tallow will be used in total in all of these fivers, we need to multiply 0.00007g by 329 million, which gives us 23,030g, or 23kg.
And if you get about 40kg of tallow-worthy fat from the average cow, how many cows would you need to make every single £5 note in circulation?
JUST OVER HALF OF ONE COW
Vegans care more for 1/2 a cow than the following:
– Shutting down the UK's domestic ivory trade has 71,416 signatures.
– Increasing the maximum sentence for animal cruelty charges has 51,473 signatures.
– Ending the badger cull has 63,461 signatures.

All you meat eating, leather wearing, by product using, animal testing, carnivores are going straight to hell where you will be forced to eat meat 4 times a day /s
It probably bothers me more that you can rub the new £5 out with an eraser.

It's a bit of a strange one.
I don't honestly mind or care if someone's personal ethics is that they object to the fiver (or anything) containing animal products, it's their right to do so.
Where I do think it starts to get a little farcical is when it's taken to the extremes of the Rainbow Cafe example above.
As others have said, do they pan anyone eating there without a strip search to ascertain if they are wearing or carrying anything at all containing animal by-products, or can they guarantee their POS system or the pain on the walls or the plastic in every single fixture and fitting is animal product free?
That's where I struggle with it, and I can't help but think that if animals are your concern there must be greater causes than the fiver.

^ agreed but eco warriors are eco warriors - the world needs a few to balance out those that see the planet as a vehicle to pillage and rape to destruction....That's where I struggle with it, and I can't help but think that if animals are your concern there must be greater causes than the fiver.

Try pointing out the enviromental and wildlife cost of lithium mining, and ask if this years newest iphone upgrade was really necessary .

They will be having you wash your hands next when you walk in.

Yep - ethics, but only when it suits.Reminds me of a guy I went to school with who, whilst stood there in a leather jacket and leather shoes, refused a packed of beef flavour crisps because he had become vegetarian on 'ethical' grounds.
