Foriegn money?

[mondobongo]

I work in a Casino if it has sterling on it we will take it, used to have to watch out for Irish Punts a few years ago as they had a different exchange rate and staff were not always aware.
One of the Irish banks do a rather nice fiver in a plastic acetate.

Sam's right in that they are not legal tender but most businesses will take them you are most likely to have a problem in the corner shop or has already been said in the Pub/on the bus.

Now I draw money out of the cashpoint in England when I go down. Never have any problems the other way around though.

Why is this thread entitled 'foriegn (sic) money'?
Scotland is part of the UK and even though the Channel Islands aren't part of the UK, it's stretching it a bit to call them foreign.

Im not calling them foreign,it was just a way to describe the question of money,that we may not have taken.But then i thought the actual question asked sort of pointed that out?
