The idea of legal tender not being recognised reminds me of a situation here in the UK.

The Bank of Scotland prints its own notes, but are rarely in circulation in the rest of the UK. Somehow it's mildly amusing passing over a Scottish fiver to an unsuspecting checkout assistant in London, and the ensuing suspicion.




A minor point: that's not what legal tender means.

The shops are free to reject the note, and possibly to lose your custom.


Thanks for the correction, interesting.
