Had this for a while now, noticed the top corner and thought it was a bit of a curio.
I'm assuming it's merely damage, but wanted to get your opinions anyway (apologies for the pictures, though they'll probably be good enough to illustrate what is there)
Hiya, yes, this is in fact damage - the curl of the tear is typical for the polymer notes. As soon as the edge is compromised by a ding or a small incision, its only a matter of time before it looses a chunk.
At least twice I've pulled a £5 out of the wallet to find myself holding half a note! Once didn't notice until I was handing it over. The slightest edge fault and they snap into two.
