Britain's monetary status

Due to historical factors, Britain's monetary law is not uniform and extremely complicated. In England and Wales, bank notes of England are legal tender with unlimited legal compensation. Local governments such as the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man also issue banknotes equivalent to bank notes of England, which are also legal tender in their respective regions. However, there is no legal tender in the laws of Scotland and Northern Ireland, so the banknotes in these two places are actually exchange certificates for British coins.

Even in England, where legal tender is recognized, the so-called "legal tender" means that when the debtor deposits these currencies in full into the court, the creditor may not ask the debtor to pay off the debt, but there is no restriction on the currency of daily transactions, because this is considered as freedom of contract.
