Bank of Scotland, Bank of Ireland, etc. Some English stores will look at you like you've got 2 heads if you present them with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean that the notes are dodgy, more that most people wouldn't know if they were current issues or anything like that. I am aware that Scotland have their own note but have no idea what they look like so couldn't tell if it was even similar to legitimate. You might as well take some monopoly money and write Bank of Scotland on it. Some companies take it out of the staff members wages if the till doesn't add up so I understand the reluctance to take them unfortunately.

It's also the case of Scottish and NI notes not being legal tender in England and vice versa. It can be up to the individual company most of the time whether they are happy enough to accept it or not, I believe.

Money is money but not all money is accepted in all countries, that’s why money exchange is a thing Edited April 11, 2018 by Nerd Who 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
