You can't get them from ATMs (don't think they fit) so only if you go to a bank counter or I guess a bureau de change. We got a new pattern about 3 years ago which was great fun -- at the time I was working in a department store and had to write up a lot of staff who continued to take the old ones from chancers months after they were no longer valid.
