My Scottish money not good enough

All the big stores like tesco where I work accept scottish money there is no legal reason why they should not there is nothing wrong with them and there same value as uk money it's the shops losing out because they lose your trade

I tried to use a Scottish tenner at a burger van near the rather unattractive Luton Airport last year, I ended up arguing with the header burger flipper threatening to flatten me, he would have because he was so fat so I was under no doubt about his threats. All I wanted was a manky looking hot dog and some Coca Cola, no Irn Bru there.

In Bulgaria I cant change Scots notes, although if I go to a dodgy money changer they will change It at a high rate, strangely Its only the dodgy ones that seem to have some knowledge that It Is actual currency and not something to squint at.

And you "Scambuster" do you think you will have today £3000 if you have had invested that £100 in the 1970´s ? Never! And for your information £100 from the 1970´s are "only" about £1000 in todays money, and then your calculation will possibly work.

Well if you see that this way. But there is a big collector market for Scottish and Northern Irish notes in mint condition. You are right when you say that £100 from the 1970s has a higher value that todays value of money. But you should see that through a collector´s eye. I know that the English Pepole don´t like the Scottish and vice versa (for historical and don´t know what other reasons). And you figurative this on Scottish Notes! How weird is this? Scottish money is as good as English money (after all it is all British money!) But back to the collector´s point of view:
The Bank of Scotland issued on the 17th of September 2007 a new designed note serie. I think they are very well designed. On the same day the Bank auctioned off its first notes and raised money for the British Heart Foundation. For instance the note set with the first number AA000001 (£5 £10 £20 £50 £100) was auctioned off for amazing £12,000 !!
Maybe it was a bad example I mentioned with the £100 note from the 1970´s. But sometimes it happens that a note was forgotten for whatever reason. And today such a note has a face value of £100. That´s a fact! And then a collector´s value of £800 or more is better that just the face value!
And please take care of your words here! Being polite is the Gentlemen way!!

Oh how mighty are the brain dead.

"A Royal Bank of Scotland £100 note from the early 1970´s brings up to £800 in perfect mint condition."

For a bank note to exist in that condition would mean that it would never have been used at all. That means a £100 value from the early 1970s has gone to waste, univested. £100 then is equivalent to £3000 today taking inflation into account. £800 is a little short of this target.

You have been had.

I like Scottish banknotes, they issue a lot of varieties and I like to collect them. Unused brand new notes achieve very high prices on ebay. For instance, a Royal Bank of Scotland £100 note from the early 1970´s brings up to £800 in perfect mint condition. Scottish notes are always a good investment (mint notes). Older notes stretching back to the beginnings of the note issuance in Scotland are very sought after collector´s items. But also current notes with low serial numbers or so called funny or fancy serial numbers are worth more than their face value.
Next time you get a Scottish note take a closer look on it! It could be worth for you !

Yer Scutty i/c UK is making beeg mees, a beeg eff up of it all. Let us all pray.

Yer Da,

It was the Kirk of Scotland that requested the English armies to invade. They were gravely concerned of all the in-breeding amongst clans that was going on.

I don't have to be concerned about this governement or any other. I have my money and I've made a substantial sum. It is the working man I feel sorry for for he is being skinned from above and below.

To George of Huntingdon,

Can't you see that your own Government are doing you over?

In Scotland, prescription charges have been reduced, and will be abolished by 2010. Not in England.

In Scotland, the price of NHS Dentistry is cheaper than England.

In Scotland, the education system is better - that's why we charge your inbred knuckle-draggers more to learn at our institutions.

What's that you say? A Scotsman in charge of England....my gosh, this cannot be.


Keep yer english notes, when Scotland gets independance (and it will), we'll be using your notes to wipe our erses - just like our Irish cousins!

England mostly london people is still the most racist country in the world I was racially assaulted at work and told to" go back to scotland all scottish do is moan" coming from a portuguese englishman I won the court case by the way! they lost £5000 in compansation!

What makes me laugh the most is the fact of all the "nations" of the UK Wales does not have its own bank notes. Even little Jersey and Guernsey have theirs. And Gibraltar, but not Wales.

Ha Ha Ha! Anyway we have all been ripped royally off in this country [UK] the £1 is now only €1.27. 20% loss of relative value in 5 years. My wages haven't gone up that much. We are all frightfully poorer in the UK.

To the originator of the gripe. You may not be able to see my lips move.

Take your Scottish notes back to Scotland. They are about as welcome here in England as what you are.

You lot always moan about England when here. If you don't like it here then shift your blue ass back home.

Haven't you learnt your lesson by now? Always 'effed' over by us English and always will be.

Goodnight sweetheart.
