Are there new Scottish fivers as well? I have seen loads of the new ones but no Scottish currency as yet! If not how long can a Scottish fiver be used in the rest of the UK? (and NI who also have their own)
RBS ones have Nan Shepherd on one side and 2 fish on the other
Clydesdale have Sir William Arrol and Forth Rail Bridge
I don't have a BofS one to check
BofS have Sir Walter Scott and Brig o' Doon.Quote:

There was a bit on the news yesterday about faulty new one pound coins.......... centre bits falling out etc. They said these were more valuable now than face value. Memo to self ..... 'remember to pick up new drill set from B&Q'. :greengrin
I've still got a couple of £1 notes. Can you still use them in Scotland?
No, but if rare worth trying to sell on ebayQuote:

And a shop is obliged to take them?Quote:

My brother in law has a stash of mint condition northern irish george best fivers. I've had no luck suggesting he doesn't need 7 of them and that one should be passed my way.
Banks will take in pretty much any British currency no matter how old. It just can't be circulated.Quote:

Try telling that to Sainsbury's, they're refusing any paper fivers.Quote:

Found this
"A spokesman for the Committee of Scottish Clearing Bankers, which represents Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, said previously: "The paper Scottish fivers are not being withdrawn from circulation, they are just not being reissued."
From here...
