When is a pound not a pound? When it's Scottish
Now here's a crafty little trick that is being employed by currency exchanges in Marmaris. Notice the rate for GBP (British Pound) and SCP (Scottish Pound) are different, even though they are one and the same.
A Scottish pound is the same as a British Pound except that it is issued by Scottish banks. Most British pounds are issued by the Bank of England. Northern Ireland also issue their own Pounds as well. All these notes are of the same value, though you will often get a funny look if you try and spend a Scottish Pound in England.
