custy hands me this colorful irish £5 note, because i have not seen one before, and was not sure i said is this legal tender in the uk, he said yes, but i thought Ireland was euros now and not sterling?? has anyone got these notes before and are they legal tender
-
If it's northern ireland then yeah because it's part of the uk but southern ireland is on euros.. make sure it IS northern irish, the southern irish ones were called "punts" before they changed over to euros

Its cos they are not real ;D
TBH, its because they are not used in england/wales they are met with "err.. whats that"!? when they are presented. So what do you expect? Ive never been handed one, and never seen one either (only a picture) so you can understand why.
Dont know why you lot up there cant use the same as all of us - would make your lives much simpler down here :P

Scottish, N.Ireland or England, if it has the word "Sterling" on the banknote it is legal tender and valid anywhere in the UK.
I don't like them either because of the doubtful looks you get in the corner shop; but trust me they're kosher.
-
so does it say north or south on them, i managed to of load mine to someone else ;D and never checked it

It won't say South because Eire isn't part of the UK and uses Euros.

Thats not completely true as the "streling "we use over here in northern ireland cant be used over in england and this is the reason when we go to england we have to go to the bank and get english bank notes!!! its so stupid i know, but you cant even buy a pint in a bar in england unless its an english note, they give you a very funny look as if your handing over monopoly money!!
-
technically the have to accept it as it is legal tender, but theres feck all chance of that happening
-
Is the sterling we use in Wales the same as the sterling in Scotland I also have a job using our Welsh money in England.The £1 coins are ok its the £20 pound notes with Lloyd George on that causes problems.
-
We take your money, why cant you take ours?
it is all sterling. I can remember as far back as 1982
when i went to Blackpool . the trouble i had with shops
when trying to spend Northern Irish money was unbelievable.
The guest house i stayed in was not a problem,if your buying a drink
it was welcomed with open arms but go into a shop and its a no no.

i wonder why they dont do welsh money? :D :D :D

The wife was over in England recently visiting and she had no trouble spending Northern Irish notes in Morrisons (the supermarket) one local shop refused but the other one took the notes no problem. I think the problem is that people are just ignorant of what is legal and what is not. As far as I am aware any note bearing the queens head is legal tender on saying that we lived in Kent and there were signs in loads of the shops saying Scottish notes were not accepted. By the way I think our Northern Ireland plastic £5 notes are great - all notes should be made of plastic.
-
apparantly it has nothing to do with legal tender, a shop keeper told me when they put the money in the bank, they charge them for having to transfer scottish welsh or irish money back to where they belong, and this is the reason they refuse the money,
-
Yes they do get charged by the greedy banks (although they should,nt)
My own bank tried to charge me once in London.
It will state sterling on the note.
Some will state something about Belfast.
Won't life be nice and easy when we are all using EURO

Reminds me when I was abroad in the far east in a hotel that changed up money/travellers cheques. Little Balinese desk clerk is in a right old state because she took £100 in Scottish notes off of a couple staying there in exchange for X thousand Indonesian wotsits. Her boss went mental because he didn't recognise them and said she'd have to make up the money (which of course was about 2 months wages for her).
Anyhow my mate took pity on her and swapped them for standard sterling currency cuz he was happy to use the Scottish notes back in the UK.
Mind you I think he was taken in by her winning smile as he gave her £105 because the hotel wanted her to not only make up the money, but the commission too!
I bet she fed her kids for a month on the extra £1 or so she got out of it after the Hotel took it's slice!
