I have Scottish notes. Not plastic though. Hope I can spend what I have left in England.

Bargain Booze will take them.

what'd be much better for everyone is if they just got rid of scottish and irish banknotes and everyone used the same ones

When I was in Bulgaria last year the currency exchanges gave a lower rate for Scottish banknotes than normal pound notes even though they're worth the same.

That would be OK if I was a raving alcoholic lived close by.

They will have integrate plastic notes with LED technology, to make the notes more flexible and to check for counterfeit money with security codes and stamps. If they'd chosen just one primary material known as LED with laminated protective coating. LED material is much more flexible, would be much more cost effective and much more greater flexibiliy in the pocket or just scrap the whole idea and just laminate our current notes with sillicon.
