As a tour guide I quite often get Scottish, Channel Islands and Northern Irish notes. Some I get as tips, and others I exchange for English notes when I spot an American (or other non-British) tourist having trouble trying to spend one in a shop in England. Usually they are notes brought back from a previous vacation or, if the passengers are on a cruise, were received in change at a previous port call. I often deposit them in my bank, but I decided to keep this Bank of Ireland £20 - it's a new polymer one and makes a nice set with the £5 and £10 that I already have:   |

Thats a pretty banknote, NumisRob. I like the whimsical flowers as part of the design. Not to mention Old Bushmills.  Joanne  |

Picked up this pleasingly circulated 1975 Canada $100 P-91a (3-letter prefix). The reverse scene is beautiful!   Edited by CollegeBarbers

The reverse scene is beautiful! That's a harbour view of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia (& I suspect that is the famous Blue Nose II sailboat, also on the back of our dime featured on the left). The old town of Lunenburg was established in 1753 & in 1995 UNESCO designated it a World Heritage site. It is primarily a fishing town but has become a tourist hotspot with all its heritage buildings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunen..._Nova_ScotiaThe harbour scene was engraved by Charles Gordon Yorke (while working for the BABN co) & he also engraved the backs of the 1954 $5.00; the 1973 $1.00 & the 1974 $2.00 (my favourites from the "Scenes of Canada" designs). https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ar....php?id=1222 |
