We get calls from customers concerned about fake notes and them going into their machine. Just to reassure you we keep our note acceptor units updated with the latest programs. This ensures that the machines will not take any of the fake notes that are circulating including Scottish fake notes.
If you ever get a fake note and a customer says it came out the machine, just try and put it back in, if the machine does not accept it, there is no way it came out of the machine.
BANKNOTE PRINTING AND SECURITY
I spotted this article and thought it was an interesting about Scottish and Irish notes, and that you do not legally have to accept them.
In England, sterling notes are printed solely by the Bank of England, but in Scotland and Northern Ireland seven other banks have a licence to print local currency with the permission of the Bank of England. Three are based in Scotland and four in Northern Ireland.
The bank of Scotland issues banknotes in denominations of £50, £20, £10 and £5 for circulation in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland also issue £100 notes, but only Scotland issues a £1 note.
Banknotes issued by Northern Ireland and Scotland can be used anywhere in the UK, but only if the trader agrees to accept them. Likewise, banknotes issued by the Bank of England can be used outside England and Wales if both parties conducting the transaction are in agreement. In other words, Bank of England banknotes are only legal tender in England and Wales, while banknotes issued in Scotland and Northern Ireland are only legal tender in their retrospective regions.
