Best Answer

Northern Ireland is part of the UK and its currency is completely interchangeable with England. However, very few shops would accept Irish notes, simply because they are unfamiliar and they wouldn't know how to verify they aren't counterfeit. Any high-street bank will exchange a NI note for an English one free of charge.

Ireland, or Eire (i.e. the rest of the island of Ireland) is part of the EU and now uses Euros for currency. (The UK has not yet adopted the Euro.) Until fairly recently, Ireland had its own currency, the Irish pound or Punt. These notes would not now be valid but could probably be changed at Irish Banks. (The Punt was worth a bit less than the pound sterling.)

Ireland uses the Euro and Britain uses the Pound Sterling - two completely different currencies.

Can you use Irish sterling in England?

The Republic of Ireland uses the Euro. Sterling is just used in Northern Ireland. The sterling used there can be used in England. However the notes are slightly different looking, as would be the case with the notes in Scotland.


Is a twenty pound Scottish note legal tender in England?

Yes all Scottish notes are legal tender throughout the UK, that is in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Actually no. Scottish and Northern Irish notes may be used in any part of the UK and as they are marked Sterling, most shops will accept them. They are not legal tender however. Legal tender is a misunderstood term and does not refer to whether money is currency that can be used. Scottish and Northern Irish sterling notes are not legal tender in any part of the UK. No banknote is legal tender in Scotland or N. Ireland in fact! This money is issued by retail banks and is classed as a promissory note not Legal Tender. The expression Legal Tender is to do with debt payment laws and refers to a form of payment that is legally always acceptable. In England and Wales the only legal tender is money issued by the Bank of England and no note is Legal Tender in Scotland or Northern Ireland including their own notes. There is quite a good discussion of this on the Royal Mint banknote site.
