Does scotland accept bank of ireland notes (money)?

Question

land dont take bank of england cuz england dont take scottish notes it that true cuz its quite hard 2 get ur hands on scottish notes when u live in northern ireland

Answer 1

I used to work in Bank of Ireland (North). I can tell you that they SHOULD take the notes as they are sterling. That said I was once sent over to Liverpool to a Bank of Ireland branch there and the idiots working there tried to charge me an exchange rate because they had never seen a Boi note. I had a bugger of a job getting the notes changed. My advice would be to change your notes for English or Scots before going, just to save trouble.

Answer 2

If you mean money from Northern Ireland, then yes, because Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

However, money from Ireland (Eire) will not be accepted. They use Euros now anyway.

However, I live in England, and I wouldn't know what a Northern Irish note looked like, so don't count on shop assistants accepting it.

Answer 3

Nurnord gets it right and some others.Best to bring English money however as Scotland shops seem to think N. Ireland  money is Irish ! Bank of Ireland notes are in sterling but not usually accepted in Britain. Amazing as N. Ireland is as British as its possible to be.!

Answer 4

I don't think the Irish take them anymore, nevermind the Scots.

Answer 5

Yes, of course NI stirling is legal tender as it is part of the UK, except some British people (including shop assistants) are pretty ignorant about it.

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

m&s refused to take my NI £10 note on the grounds "it's Irish money" when i pointed out that m&s accept the euro and asked him what currency Ireland use, it dawned on me that i would be paying with my card and he'd never make checkout supervisor

Answer 8

no, completly different money.

Answer 9

Coming from Northern Ireland I can tell you that bank of ireland operates in Northern Ireland as well. Therefore they produce pounds sterling notes. Nowhere in the United Kingdom can refuse sterling as tender although as I have experienced in the past (I live in Bristol now) bank notes originating from NI often confuse people here on the mainland and some even refuse to accept them purely through ignorance. I have always insisted that they take it and don't care how big the argument gets ! This is appalling, but worse still is the percentage of people here on the mainland that do not know that NI is part of the United Kingdom and that the Island of Ireland is 2 countries, one British the other foreign. THE IDIOT WITH THE ANSWER BELOW MINE TALKS c**p WHEN HE SAYS NOWHERE ACCEPTS BANK NOTES FROM NI. STINGRAY OBVIOUSLY THINKS HE IS TALKING ABOUT PUNTS. (HIS ANSWER IS NOT RIGHT BELOW MINE NOW)

Answer 10

as long as it has sterling on it.

Answer 11

Not in shops, you could take it to the bank & they will change it for you.

Answer 12

nowhere in the uk mainland accepts northern irish stirling notes as we all think it has to be bank of england or scotland to be real
