    Legal tender has nothing to do with whether notes can be used.

    certainly does - try using a note once it's no longer legal tender
    None of the scottish notes in scotland are legal tender and they have no problem using them at all.....

    Legal tender is very obscure anyway, unless you need to pay a debt to a court it’s of limited relevance
