Pound notes are still printed in Scotland and are legal tender for the entire UK. It always makes me feel quite nostalgic when I get one.

  Pound notes are also still printed and in use in the channel islands, although they aren't legal tender for the UK from there, but then the coins aren't either (despite being virtually identical).

  I knew that scottish pounds aren't legal tender: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknotes_of_the_pound_sterling#Scotland_and_Northern_Ireland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknotes_of_the_pound_sterling... Bus driver in England did not accept my £5 scottish note.

    Hence the origin of the saying, to get away Scot free.
