How long before Krause has to issue another catalogue I wonder. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...tol-19627592 Report this Post to the Staff

James4444 Valued Member United Arab Emirates 242 Posts	Posted 09/21/2012 06:26 am Issued notes look neat & fabulous! So, to my understanding, such notes can be only used "domestically" & NOT "internationally" Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/21/2012 06:49 am James4444, Yes, that's correct. Indeed they can only be used where people will accept them. There's no law preventing them being used internationally, though, as they're not technically 'legal currency' or legal tender. There's a nice pic of a Hawick (near me) pound at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/8576780.stm I understand a lot of Hawick pounds went to expatriates around the world - I've not yet managed to get one !

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 10:03 am The town of Lewes ( East Sussex, England ) has had a scheme like this running for some time. It appears the impact on the local community is much less than they hoped. ( i.e. practically negligible!) There is talk of a re-launch later this year. The issuer of the notes is supposed to hold England banknotes to the same value as the Lewes ones issued, to ensure that there is not a rush of paper money. The notes themselves are fine. I have an unusual £21 note from this set. Report this Post to the Staff
