Have bank notes been changed?

I gave this a like but the pedant in me is having a tough time not correcting the 'legal tender' bit!

[QUOTE 5203369, member: 259"]The real fun starts when you try using Northern Irish notes.

I know, yet they're equally valid and approved by UK Parliament.

And a lot of folk don't know that no English banknote is legal tender in Scotland (but we're smart enough not to make the same fuss...)

Aye, but I was comparing the legal tender status and rates of acceptance of Scottish v English notes in the opposite countries.
So can you lend me £6.57 and I'll get a fiver back to you within a day...

[QUOTE 5203376, member: 45"]It's a Scottish fiver. They're worth £6.57, so make sure you get the right change when you use it.[/QUOTE]
so your still allowed to use them if your in england and not scotland. As i said why did i get a scottish 5 note when i'm in England? Also how is it worth more?

I think it is a joke ... Try to extract that extra £1.57 and see where that gets you!
You get Scottish banknotes in England because people bring them down here from Scotland. My Scottish cousin visits every year for the Tour de Yorkshire and always has Scottish bank notes with him. Most places accept them (they would be turning down business if they didn't!) but some places don't, either because they are being funny for the sake of it, or because they actually are not sure that the notes are genuine.
I was wondering what the purpose of 'legal tender' status is if it is not compulsory to accept it. Then I saw that it for the purposes of settling debts. If I owe you money and I offer you legal tender to settle the debt then you either accept it or the debt can remain unpaid.
