The Gibraltar currency (GIP) is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Gibraltar decimal coinage is identical in dimensions and composition to the equivalent British Coins, being struck on the same blanks. Gibraltar currency is "legal tender" only in Gibraltar.

Although British banks will exchange Gibraltar currency for British currency at parity, there is a charge for the service. Tourists are advised to exchange their Gibraltar currency before leaving Gibraltar.
