Scotland Coin ?

From the Wikipedia entry on Scottish coinage...

..."Currently, three Scottish banks produce their own banknotes, but no coinage. One of the articles of the Treaty of Union stipulates that Scotland was to keep its own mint, but this, as with many others, has not been held to. Production ceased a mere two years after Union, and the mint itself was abolished in 1817. However, this has still met with a low level of protest, mentioned by Sir Walter Scott, and protested against by nationalist pamphlets into the 1950s and beyond. Scotland is the only part of the UK where pound notes are still in usage (although they can be found in the Isle of Man and Channel Islands)

The transition from Scottish coinage to English was not overnight. Scottish coinage was still in circulation in the later 18th century, but the changeover was made a little easier due to common currency in the nomenclature. "Pound Sterling" is still translated as "Punnd Sasannach" (English pound) in Scottish Gaelic. Also, certain of the old coin names, such as "bawbee" continued in colloquial usage into the 20th century. Other such as "mark" and "dollar" would be more associated with various foreign currencies by contemporary Scots."

I actually have a Bawbee I'd be willing to sell ya....its from 1677 I believe.
