    You could try contacting Apple, they may switch it to sterling if you pay the difference to make it up to probably a £15 voucher

    I doubt it I had a similar thing with amazon, The sender had to make a return on the voucher and the sender then went to the correct amazon site and bought the correct voucher currency.
    So it might be a case of your friend reclaiming the voucher and then purchasing a correct currency..

    Its done like that so they are not aiding money laudering.

    You could do what i did with voucher code, is sign up to itunes and make the account a american account. i put zip code as 12345 and a street address of blah blah blah (lol) and it worked and i got to use my usa itunes voucher, the only disadvantage (i say disadvantage not a big one) is that not all the british music will be on there you get the major music labels.
