    A bit like the Channel Islands - they use British Pounds but if you try to use them on the mainland they’ll not be accepted. Other way round is fine.

      Would these be accepted in the US? Like maybe a gas station attendant would think these are fake but also maybe a bank would take them? Never going to have a chance to test that out; just curious-ish.

      They will be, but businesses will often have to check their book of accepted notes. We had to do it with Scottish and Irish ones which were unfamiliar to us in Northamptonshire.
