| has gloss | eng: Banknotes have been issued for use specifically in Northern Ireland since 1929, and are denominated in pounds sterling. Like Scottish banknotes, they are not legal tender anywhere, but they are legal currency throughout the United Kingdom, and normal currency in Northern Ireland. The banknotes are widely accepted as currency by larger merchants and institutions elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Issuing banks have been granted legal rights to issue currency, and back the notes with deposits at the Bank of England. |
