This is a history question?

Name the four banks that issued paper money in the UK yesterday.

Also funny.

[Grey Fox]

btw, I thought it was 8 banks. Not that I know the name of any of them.

Not even the ones I gave you?

Floor is open.

Name the four UK banks that issue paper money.

Bank of England, Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank, Northern Bank and the Bank of Ulster?

Edit:  As it's been answered I looked it up.  Bank of Ireland and First Trust Bank also issue.

Hmmm.  Article in the FT only mentioned my four.  Either way.

Those are only England and Scotland.  There's four Northern Irish banks too.

Apparently all the governments of the Crown dependencies issue their own version of the pound too.  So there's a Manx pound, Jersey pound, Gibraltar pound, Falklands pound etc.  Never seen any of them though.  I assume they can be used here?

I once found a coin minted on the Island of Jersey in my change - in Canada.

It's a royal tradition!
