Are Bank of Ireland notes legal tender in Scotland?
My son received a bank of Ireland 5 pound note in his change today
but can it be used here in Scotland?
Answers:
The only legal tender in the UK is bank of England notes but the 4 scottish and the 2 Northern Irish banks notes (which may be printed by the bank of Ireland) are exchanged under normal custom but are promissary notes. I would recommend visiting a bank; preferably the Bank of Ireland in Edinburgh or Glasgow if he has any problems.
No. Ireland is on the Euro, unless it was issued in Ulster, that is. If it was issued in Ulster, then it's legal tender in the UK, just like a Clydesdale Bank note from Scotland would be in London.
Hmmm.I'm not so sure. I guess the only way to find out is to try and spend it?!
Without a doubt, as has sterling on it, it will be accepted. Some shops will double check but they'll accept it.
i dont think you can
If the note contains the words pounds sterling it is legal tender.
I have used such notes in Scotland recently.
money from northern ireland is still stirling so u can use it in scotland but obviously southern ireland is on the euro so there is no more irish money in circulation there. if in doubt just ask the back, maybe they can exchange it for u .
Ireland has been using the Euro from some years now!
they stopped being legal tender a couple of years ago when republic of Ireland moved to the Euro they were worth less than sterling pound. if he knows th shop keeper and made a comment at the time take it back. he has been screwed but not sure if it is illegal to pass this currency worth contacting a bank but if they do exchange it he will be charged.
otherwise pass it off in a dark pub somewhere
Bank of Ireland Notes are only accepted through lodgements to banks etc. Ireland has been using the Euro currency for a number of years.
Hope this helps
