Money and notes across the UK

Study note

The UK uses the pound sterling. While the Bank of England issues banknotes used across the UK, some banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland are also allowed to print their own banknotes. Coins come in several values from 1p up to £2.

Memory tip: Pound sterling everywhere; Scottish and NI banks can print their own notes too.
