Legal tender
Are Isle of Man coins legal tender in this country, just had an argy with face ache who says they are not.
But to me if they have the Queens head on and a date & the words Elizabeth II then they are legal. Searched the internet but can't find owt definite, although some Isle on Man decimal coins are now collectors items. Also found that English 5, 10, 20, & 50 quid notes are not legal tender in Scotland & Northern Ireland. |

I was up in Glasgow a few weeks back and I used 'English' bank notes in their shops so they must be legal tender up there

Re: Legal tender
I travelled extensively in Scotland when I was working and never had any English notes refused.
If Ii used the Southwaite services near Carlisle and my change included notes many times I would get Scottish notes going North and if I paid with Scottish notes Southbound I would get English notes in change. |

Travel Information - Isle of Man Direct As to Jockeen sponnies, (think they've got about 4 different banks & styles of notes) some places will accept them quite readily I've found (especially areas where the Jocks holiday), but the further South you go they're more leery of "Foreign Coinage" . But turned around, I've no seen a Jock that'll say nay te English Poonds! :D |
Re: Legal tender
I just got the following reply from a friend in the I.O.M. regarding Manx note.
"You would have a struggle paying with Manx notes in the UK Russell,although banks will accept them no bother. There is no problem with coins though. That’s why cash dispensers at the Sea terminal in Douglas and the airport only dispense Sterling notes,it’s daft but people think that just because the notes and coins have the QE2 picture they think they are acceptable. The best thing to do is Google Manx currency for a full explanation". |
