[Closed] £100 note?

no, £50 is the largest

Hmmm, I wonder if RRP on an XT cassette hits £100, it should be time to introduce one? 😆

Apparently not in any country as a general note, however there are million pound "notes" used within banks etc.

The Scots have one AFAIK

But as with all Scottish notes - not legal tender

Just the one mind. We all take turns with it 🙂

Surely as it says £100 STERLING it can indeed be classed as legal - no?

Yup, that's them, think the BofS does one too so probably RBS as well.

They don't fit in your wallet though.....

'Legal tender' is a specific term & no, they're not

You so rarely see a £50 that I'm not sure you'd ever see any £100s even if we did have them.

Even Bank of England notes are not "legal tender" in Scotland (no, seriously!).

Actually no UK bank note is "legal tender" in Scotland.

(Edit: damn, 8 seconds behind coffeeking, but I get a bonus point for a reference surely 🙂 )

eh! scottish notes are sterling and very much legal tender in the uk!

Scottish notes are legal tender nowhere
English notes are legal tender only in England & Wales

Aye, neither Scottish or Northern Irish notes are legal tender, they're 'promissory notes'.

When Scotland gains its independence will they revert to a barter system, with bottles of Buckie being the most valuable commodity to trade in?

😉

seriously,you guys might not be overly surprised that alot of us scots who cross the border and offer a "normal" tenner and get a look as if if just offered a chipped marble as payment for goods! many a defensive argument iv had on that issue

worst of all i went to malysia for a family wedding with a several hundered quid or scottish sterling in my tail only to find when i went exchange the buggers for rignets (malaysian dollors) i got refused!!! and ended up in KL with no useable money....i ended up borrowing the value of my currency from my malasian family for 3 weeks and took them home again. if only id been slightly less naive and simply swapped them for english notes...something that had not even crossed my mind.

So, 18 replies and only two relevant to the OP?

STW at it's best! 😉

You edited the OP though 🙂

Err, no I didn't.

And even if I did, you can only edit for 15 mins after you post, so everything after Coffeekings post would have seen the edited version.....

Your move....

Not at the moment according to the [url= http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/current/index.htm ]Bank of England[/url] who should know these things.

But [url= http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/denom_guide/index.htm ]there have been £100 notes[/url] last issued in 1943, ceased to be legal tender in 1945. As did the £1000 note. That must have been worth a fortune when it was first issued in the 1700s.

THAT'S LEGAL TENDER!!! 😛

Handing over £100 notes in shops is always difficult up here, as is handing over a Scottish £5 in Englandshire, but in Tenerife I went into an exchange & handed over 4 Clydesdale £100 notes & the guy never even blinked, he just counted out the Euros no problem.

Mainland europe they have €500 notes.... so about £500 at the mo.... When I lived in Spain no stores would break them but locals would change them with you as they kept all their loot at home and not in the bank! As they get quite heavily taxed on their savings.

it's not just Scottish money that is difficult to exchange, HKD are issued by the individual banks like Scottish notes are and i've had trouble getting them changed as there are so many different notes.

That TV presenter that hung himself after his bird OD'd on coke

we have them (scotland) i don't have any problems using them (when i have them).

and as said, its a pain in the arse trying to use scottish notes down in england. some places are ok, but a large amount of the time people give you a glaikit look wondering what they are. :|.

As for the exchange thing, when i went to canada last year i went into a bank to exchange some money, counted out the dollars i was due, (At about 1.95>£) then they realised it was scottish notes, and gave me them at a rate of 2.38>£ 😀
worked in my favour there!

[i]Mainland europe they have €500 notes[/i]

The Germans insisted apparently.

[i]as is handing over a Scottish £5 in Englandshire[/i]

Depend where they crop all the time here get exchanged without quibble as do the rest of Scottish notes. When I was in the Lakes though they grumbled about a £20 scottish note.

I like all the wrong answers 🙂 £100 notes from RBOS Clydesdale and BOS are pretty common- mostly the ones in circulation are BOS though, RBS prints a token number because some people like them, Clydesdale and BOS make more use of them. They can be a bit difficult to spend, but it depends what you're doing with them, in casinos, car dealerships and other places that do regular big cash transactions you'll generally be fine but in a nightclub, best of luck 😉

Still, bank of england £50s are the preferred big note up here.
