It really can vary. I remember having trouble spending Royal Bank of Scotland notes in England at the start of one trip, and after landing in Frankfurt airport for a transfer I was able to spend them without any problems in a shop which accepted EUR, GBP and USD. Also funny, here in Czech Republic I saw a money exchange place listing rates for both GBP and “SCP”, the latter having little Scottish flag beside it and a worse rate :D
- gerikson 4y agoThe worse rate is understandable as the "resell value" is lower for a Scottish issued note than one issued by the BoE.
- smcl 4y agoI am not complaining - I don’t have reason to, I earn the local currency - I’m just amused they even exchanged Scottish notes at all, and even more so that explicitly stated that they would.
