I have a £5 note with Jack Nicklaus on it! WTF

I was worried in case I have been given 'funny money' but I have been reliabily informed that not only is it legal but could be a collectors item.

It is a Scottish fiver and given when I was 'north of the border'.

Doesn't he have to be dead or summat? WTF is going on here? I'm not on drugs

Scottish notes are legal tender in England most shops will take it if they wont go to your bank and swap it for an english £5 note.

I know they are but a few times I've had them refuse due to the amount of forged notes out there

Same here in York - Scottish money isnt accepted in the majority of places due to the ease at which they can be forged compared with English notes.

If you really want to **** them off you can pay for goods in stamps up to about £2.60, as its classes a legal tender. Else you'd never be able to use potal orders...
