[ReactorBlack]

wales uses a completley different language than british people, all british countrys speak english, wales is not apart of britain as the british flag only uses english scottish and nothern irish flag together wales is not included in the BRITISH flag and wales in their schools they teach the english language as english studies.

[Cowinspace]

Wales is a principality of england, technically you're not even a country (it's why your legal system is tied in with theirs whiles our scottsh system is separate).

[Azreal677]

@XxMotocrosser211xX dude, check your facts. Wales was included on the Union Jack with the English flag, as at the time (and ever since), Wales was ruled over by the English King. Language has nothing to do with it, certain Scottish people can speak Gaelic, and even some Cornish people speak Cornish, it's just that Welsh is a nationally recognised language in Wales and is kept as part of the cultural identity.

Wales is more a part of The United Kingdom than Northern Ireland, really.

[XxMotocrosser211xX]

english currency not british, only scottish and english use it, ireland and wales use euros, wales isnt part of britain.

[primalsuspence114]

yes wales is part of britain, as is scotland, as is england. ireland isnt part of britain but nortern ireland is part of the united kindom of great britan and nortern ireland. The currency shown is therefore english, british and UK currency

[WorldForeverChanged]

I collect old money also, I like Victorian gold sovereign coins.

[WorldForeverChanged]

I love the £50 notes, nice red and pink colors

Scottish Money represents the people & English Money represents the monarchy - the difference being that all throughout history & to this day with the devolved governments, the people in england are ruled by the monarchy and government whereas the government in Scotland is ruled by the people, it was the first country in history to have people power as such & demonstrate a democracy with the declaration of arbroath which was adapted into the American Independence Bill by funnily enough... Scots!

[qpodcity]

...English Money is legal tender in all parts of the UK for "debts" which means you only have to accept it if someone is due you money for something on back-payment or owed, not purchases and therefore can be refused, Scottish Money can be refused and usually is in England due to their arrogance.

[qpodcity]

Actually each UK countries money is different and is not British, its either English/Welsh, Northern Irish or Scottish, the banks in Scotland are older than the Bank of England and the BOE was formed by a scotsman under a Scottish King who inherited England.

[mejw1]

i am planing a trip to london and i am canadian, so i need some ideas what to expect in price differences from here to there lol

like how much is a bottle of coke/pepsi in UK

or a big mac combo at mcdonalds, that kind of everyday stuff

i would appreciate anyones help on this :) thanks for your help

[BrilliantList]

You can ask my friend "moneyshop16". He knows everything about England.

[waterlocks]

Well, something like a bottle of coke/pepsi is about £1.50, but there are always deals on like buy one get one free. Whenever i go to McDonalds, i always go in with a £5 and not expect much change back lol

[TheSharkDribbler]

@mejw1

a bottle of pepsi is like £1 or £1.70 depends where you shop

Big Mac is £4.50 (thats large)

[DeltaNC]

The Bank of England is actually the central bank of the UK and the notes it issues are British by description.

The three banks in Scotland (and four more in Northern Ireland) which issue notes are actually commercial companies though they are permitted to issues notes by permission.

BoE £50 notes are so little used that they are actually one design series behind the other notes.

Banks in Scotland & NI also issue £100 notes, and one (Royal Bank of Scotland) still issues single pound notes.

[BrilliantList]

Wow, that's very interesting. So does Scotland use the money from England along with the Scotland pound?

[DeltaNC]

Yep, its all just British pound. =D

In Scotland the three main banks which issue their own notes usually only pay out their own notes, other banks tend to pay out BoE notes instead.

Scottish notes are also pretty common in the north of England. From time to time Northern Irish notes will appear in circulation. In total the UK currenly has

[DeltaNC]

nine sets of banknotes in circulation. Though Scottish and NI notes tend to stay in their countries due to the way these notes are handled by banks.

[TheSharkDribbler]

@BrilliantList yes we use both currency. The old £20 notes are not in use anymore no more legal tender

[kanenkitten]

@BrilliantList: Theres no such thing as a Scottish pound. It's all Pound Sterling and yes, BoE banknotes are accepted in Scotland.
