In the country I am originally from the exchange rate is actually different and some exchange offices even refuse to take them. And I also have a friend who lived there and who told me the same story that when traveling he was only taking British pounds with him because of difficulties exchanging the Scottish ones.
I have heard of issues using Scottish and NI money while travelling; they’re less recognisable than Bank of England issued notes. I have just never encountered a variable exchange rate on different issued Sterling notes. Was this an EU country?
Yes, it is an EU country, but it was a couple of years ago. So again things might have gotten better and my original statement might be completely wrong.
Thanks for more details. I don’t want to say you’re wrong though, I don’t have the data for that, just anectdotally in my experiences, this hasn’t impacted me.
