For simplicity, I've only included the northern Ireland (that continues to be a part of the UK) while discussing the history of regional banks in Ireland, prior to the partition. It's not an issue as long as you talk about the history of banking only in these regions.
Including Ireland and its currency (pre/post-partition) would make this video too long and too complicated.

Only British people know the anxiety that builds up whilst you're waiting in line to pay with a Scottish bank note in England 😂
It's fine as long as you don't scream at us that Scotland is in the UK when we look at the note. We (shop assistants) have to look to see if it's not fake and is still in circulation. We check all notes but English notes being all the same makes it very quick so customers don't realise we're doing it. There's also the confusion over which way round to put it in the till. Which side is the front?
@@r.brooks5287 its your lots attitude when you take our, fair enough it needs inspected but its like a CID investigation with monopoly money and the English wonder why we really can't be arsed with it... we come across English notes daily, there's a couple in my wallet, I highly doubt that's not the same as England.
@@Mr_Makina No, and that is why it's a problem. Banks should leave more non English notes in circulation in England rather than taking them straight out. Familiarity would make it much easier. In twenty years of similar jobs, I've only dealt with one Bank of Belfast £5 and no other NI notes at all. Also, new Scottish £20s are obvious but telling the still legal older ones from the even older no longer legal ones isn't easy when we don't see either often and the customer is glaring at us. I'm in Lincolnshire so there might be more in circulation further north, but I think it's a case of the banks removing them as soon as they can.
@@r.brooks5287 i live in the North East and its the exact same, I've seen Scottish notes maybe a handful of times while in England.
Agreed, I live in the South East and haven’t seen a Scottish note since maybe 2002 and that was only because I was working in London briefly. Even then Scottish notes although valid, would not be accepted by many English people nor would most retailers except them, only banks. It really is a case of the notes are so extremely rare, it is sensible to decline them. Scotland wouldn’t accept notes they weren’t familiar with either
A few years ago, my father was on vacation in Scotland. He had Bank of Scotland notes and was soon going to be traveling to London. He asked a bank teller if his Bank of Scotland notes would work in London and the teller told him that they were valid currency, but offered to exchange them for Bank of England notes because “some people in London might look askance at them”.
yeah lad cant get your hair cut with a scottish note
@@MrFriendlyCsgoContent yeah. You can use em in Asda and Tesco, and that.. but not in local shops
pls upload again :(
How much security is actually needed for these? I feel like if it was stolen, it would be very hard to spend, and presumably the bank could mark it as stolen by serial number and make another
Exactly why they dont bother adding any security features to the notes. No-one knows what they are, and everyone that does knows that you shouldnt have them.
They aren’t legal tender, so the premise is all wrong. Their no different to a promissory note
They are only valuable to other banks and I can imagine a whole security check needs to be made before they are used, like a meeting between the bank managers and a whole procedure with signatures and checks to transfer the money so they are useless to normal people

I work in a supermarket and we’re constantly getting taught to look for any inconsistencies in notes, and know a fiver like the back of our hands, so when you’re given a bank note from not the BoE it’s jarring as you can’t really know if it is counterfeit or not, so we just accept them, plus they look REALLY cool, and think it’s a shame that they aren’t more common
@Keltic D wasn't it 9/10 coins were fake??
Bank of England notes, in England, can also be refused by one party of a transaction, and the government has no power to force them to change their mind. You can literally price your goods in pounds then demand contactless payments only, effectively not recognising paper money as pounds. In the UK, the legal status of cash is just that the issuing authority promises that it is worth what's printed on it at that particular authority. Legal tender means that the government recognises the right of particular authorities to do this, and not others. It's only used in trade if both parties agree to use it as a medium. As a result, it is perfectly legal for someone to demand trading in euros or bitcoin or toilet rolls and not in pounds, and if both parties agree then so be it. This is different from the government issuing money bearing the signatures of treasury secretaries, which the government then enforce must be accepted in trade.
In Scotland at least legal tender means that a payment of a court debt made in that tender cannot be refused. In Scotland that means coins since we have no recognised legal tender notes. But unless the meaning is different South of the border then at the ultimate stage the government can force you to accept payment in legal tender. It's not just about issuing. The Bank of England doesn't issue coins for example, the Royal Mint does. But both coins and BoE notes are legal tender in England. Whereas any can issue Legal Paper or Bills of Exchange (which is the legal status of Scots notes). Companies sometimes also issue bills of exchange for certain things (old fashioned cheques are also Bills of Exchange) but Scottish notes are a special subset with defined legal protections.
@@angusmcewing3557 Yes. Legal tender, in any jurisdiction, also means that if a participating party, either as one of the trading parties or an arbiter, is the government, then the transaction must be in the legal tender. It's when a purely private trade is concerned where the laws may differ.
@@tt-ew7rx Parties can naturally agree any terms they wish, subject to statutory or common law restrictions. But at the end of the day one party either gets paid first or does the work first and if you need to get paid when a party breaks contract you need courts to enforce. A contract doesn't grant the right to be paid, but the right to sue to be paid, as is a well known aphorism amongst contract lawyers.

If you change notes abroad (if you can) you get a lower exchange rate for Scottish and NI notes than English notes. It’s more the higher fraud risk than actually classing them a less actual value
When the Hungarian pengő was replaced by the forint in 1946, all the pengő notes in circulation were worth less than $0.40 USD. The new forint was worth 400 octillion pengő.
Edited to add: I misread the OP, people have rightfully corrected me, I'll leave my original comment below for context
1 pengő = 0.40 USD
1 forint = 400 octillion pengő
then:
1 forint= 0.40 USD/pengő ×400 octillion pengő = 160 octillion USD

Fantastic video! As an American traveling in the UK last year (2019), I thought it was interesting that after a return trip from Edinburgh to London, the employees behind the counter at a store in London had to discuss if my Scottish bills were legit or not. This clarifies it big times!
Yeah I work in a store and I accept them because I’m not an idiot but most people are so I apologise about that haha
There was a large problem a few years ago with criminals trying to pass fake Scottish notes in England. Mainly because they are hardly ever seen south of the boarder so most shop workers wouldn't know what a legit one looks like. (not to mention the 3 different designs)
I would accept Scottish and Northern Irish notes but excluding the £1 and £100 denominations which do not exist in bank of England notes (and not all 7 of the others issue them either)
I am English, and have lived here my whole life, and it wasn't until a few months ago that I discovered that they have different banknotes in Scotland. My mind was completely blown
Happens all the time when I go to England to see my family. They always think my northern Irish notes are fake
A really excellent video with accurate up to date information. The only thing I may add is that Scottish notes are an 'Authorised' currency and Northern Irish notes are an 'Accepted' currency. Great video 👏
in almost thirty years of living in England, I don't know if i ever once saw a scottish bank note. I have seen money from the Isle of Man sometimes, but never from scotland or northern ireland. I think in england there only use is when scottish people visit, use them in a shop, and then the shop deposits them in a bank. They are not really in circulation- you wouldn't get them from an ATM and a shop would not given you any back in your change. I wouldn't know if i saw one if it was real or forged
I bet you didn't know but money from Isle of Man is not legal tender in the UK but because they look the same as the UK ones people accept them anyway as seen lots of Isle of Man coins. But under the law it is not legal tender at all even banks can reject them but they dont as it easy to get rid of as looks identical to the UK ones.

Fact check: the Northern Bank (then owned by an Australian bank, later sold to Danske) was issuing polymer notes at least as far back as 2008. I still have one of them.
Edit: I realise you said Clydesdale in 2015 was the first in *GB* but still...
English here, I'm not against Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish banknotes, in fact I never even knew they existed. I would have probably refused them as a shopkeeper too. Reason, they vary too much from the English pound note so I don't blame shopkeepers for thinking they're not legitimate. Partially to blame is the lack of status, but there is an incredible lack of design consistency. Want proof? Verticle bank notes.
I understand that there are a lot of bank note variations but I don’t want all the bank notes to just be Bank of England as the danske bank, Ulster bank and bank of Ireland notes shows what Northern Ireland is. It’s unique and shows NI not just England 🏴

If you're not in London or a tourist area, Google the distance and price of an Uber, then go to any taxi rank and say "Uber says £X, who's willing to drive for that?"

*Britain hasnt has any serious inflation in ages* laughs in lizz truss
My dad when we visited England loved given his Scottish note to English retailers, when they got rejected he loved reminding him "it's legal Tender!", Like, we were laughing and talking the piss out of them, it was all a laugh usually we just had some English notes on us because the Scottish notes get rejected on a regular basis but we just used them for a laugh because of the English reaction to the notes.
Lol. There's no such thing as "legal tender". You knew this but they didn't
The only reason they reject the notes is on they dont know if it is real or not as they are not taught on what to look for and if they do accept it it really hard to give away as people dont want to be paid back in the note as it is hard to give away to other places and only place to go is a bank or post office as they have to accept it that is the only place you can scream legal tender is bank or post office as they cant reject it. So it is just a pain to have to go to change it over to english note if you have them that is why they dont accept them.
@@giggity4670 Banks and Post Office's can refuse, but don't as per the directive of the Bank of England that they shouldn't (except in certain circumstances).

I once was given a scottish 10 pound note and Yes I genuinely had never seen one before and questioned if I could even spend it or if it would be accepted as legal currency and I got rid of it as fast as I could by using it at the corner shop. I disagree with the suggestion that they should just use bank of england notes, they made their own stylized currency which has features from their history and culture, we should respect that, we're not here to take away their identify but we definitely need more awareness that their currency exists and is fully usable and should be accepted throughout the UK.

We were very confused as we were just a couple of southern European tourists having a beer...

Absolutely untrue, I live in Northern Ireland and English notes are common here
I'm from Canada, but I only guess what a nightmare retail workers in Scotland have to deal with handling multiple types, sizes, designs of currency.
All notes of the same denomination are the same size and colour. Its not really an issue. £1 is green, $5 is blue, £10 is brown, £20 is purple, £50 is, shit dont remember, $100 is red.
Each denomination of note is the same colour, makes it easier. Every country in the EU, that use the Euro, issue their one notes. They're all accepted in every nation in the Eurozone. People who deal with cash, they know what to look out for, or they should. England seems to think it's always the exception.
its the same in Northern Ireland where i am from its easy we have 3 banks that issue their own notes
Ulster Bank
Danske Bank (used to be called Northern Bank til it was taken over)
Bank of Ireland
normal bank of england notes circulate alongside these but its all UK pounds and all worth the same
It’s not really a hassle to retail workers in Northern Ireland… it’s only when we go to England and pay for stuff in NI/ Scottish bank notes. They always get confused

As a Scottish person, I can honestly say that if a bank began issuing BoE notes instead, the Scottish people would be very angry. I think this choice might have a lot to do with national identities, but Scotland prefers to differentiate itself from England. I don’t think Scottish notes are going anywhere.
They shouldn't go anywhere... Scotland ain't England, and visa versa. Its a way to show your own culture, and people up North have a completely different one at that!
It's fine, you're welcome to your little fantasies - just don't get it twisted: to play these games, every single pound has to be back by England. We're humouring you, so don't push it, alright?
@@artsed08 and the award for the most English comment goes to you, congrats. Next you’ll be boasting about all the countries you colonised. England really is the greatest country in the world
Sure. Whatever gives you the illusion of being an independent nation.
imagine only having a 100 million pounds in your pocket and asking for change
Just make a law to unify all bank under one central bank called Bank of UK.
That would fix the issue. Scots going to England don't have worry about their money being refused.
