check that the security features are real - the Bank of England have a great site for checking the authenticity of the £50 note: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/security/security_50.htm
I hope the ones you have meet all the criteria!

get a piece of white paper and rub it accross the coloured shape (cant remeber which shape for a fifty bu think its pink) some dye should come off, then check for the water mark and make a little tear where the silver is it should run through the note.

Take a piece of plain white paper and rub it over the red triangle on the front. The ink should transfer; if it doesn't double check everything else.

Hold it up to the light. There should be a flattened wasp holding a silver strip.

rub it against a piece of paper, if ink does not rub off it is fake.

Get one of those black lights and check for the water mark.

set fire to it and see what colour flame it burns with!
If it burns orange, it was probably real!
