Scottish ten pound note

molerat

I used to work in a national retailer before retiring in 2009 and we accepted Euro notes back then. There was a key on the till and it would show what change to give in both Euros and £ depending on what you actually had in the till (although we never had anyone try to pay in Euros)

As for Irish notes, as long as it had £ Sterling shown on them then no problem. Took a few over the years, Bank of Ireland and Northern Bank were the predominant ones. We had pictures in the operating procedures which would have been the same in England.

Yup, I'm sure.

You mentioned RBS. And you said no one issues £1 notes anymore.

Sorry, but you were wrong. Your Dummies guide is failing you.

Hi,

just for clarification, there are no Scottish £1 notes in circulation now.

They were once issued and a 10 bob note, (50P).

I still have a ten bob note.

do the English check the £1 coins to see where they come from?

We don't need to. And neither do you. All UK pound coins come from Wales they are all Legal Tender.

The images on the reverse are simply designs that reflect our glorious heritage or celebrate the four constituent nations of the UK.

Well there are three authoritative websites which state that RBS still issue £1 notes, and I know who I would rather trust.

Dummies guides are written for Dummies. Sometimes they are written by Dummies

There's actually more than that in circulation as Clydesdale had a habit of issuing commemorative notes for special occasions, although I'm lead to believe they are not going to do this any longer.

I work in automated cash management systems and its a nightmare keeping up with them all.

FYI over and above English and Scottish notes, we also 'recognise'

Northern Irish ones -
8 Bank of Ireland (2 variants each of 5, 10, 20 & 50)
6 First Trust Bank (2 variants each of 10, 20 & 50)
8 Danske Bank/Northern Bank (1 x 5, 3 x 10, 3 x 20 & 1 x 50)
7 Ulster Bank ( 2 each of 5, 10 & 20, plus a 50)

"Small Island" ones -
10 from Jersey (2 each of 1, 5, 10, 20 & 50)
9 from Guernsey ( 2 each of 1, 5, 10 & 20 plus a 50)
4 from Isle of Man (1, 5, 10, 20)

Whilst different manufacturers may recognise slightly different sets of notes due to the constraints of being able to store the details for checking each one in memory, you should find that all note accepting machines will take them all, with the possible exception of some of the obscure Clydesdale commemoratives.

Hi,



Maybe Scotland should stop accepting English notes, with old Lizzie's head on them.

Was in a shop that wouldn't accept a Guernsey 50p, 'It's not legal'.

Where I live we get Scottish, Northern Ireland, Southern Ireland and the dreaded English notes, all are accepted in shops and pubs.

Oh, and BoS is part of the Halifax, Birmingham Midshires group, do you trust them?

“Southern Ireland” or the Republic of Ireland as it is actually known, has been using Euros for 15 years. Where do you live that shops and pubs accept Euros?

Went to my local hairdresser yesterday ( NE England) and he had a notice on the door advising that they were not accepting any Scottish notes because apparently there are a number of forged notes in circulation.
I for one would not accept a Scottish note as I have no idea how to establish whether it was genuine.

If Scotland ever gets Independence * then I wonder which currency they will have? They cannot expect to continue with the UK £, as they will not be members within the UK. They cannot expect to use the Euro, because the EU have told them that they are not EU members.

Maybe the Trump Dollar, to go with the Golf Courses they don't look like having?

*looking extremely unlikely now. The Splurger has been quiet for a bit!

They can use the Scottish Pound and lock it to the UK pound, similar to Gibraltar.
