One of my favourite movies, and this incredible true story’s always fascinated me. “Operation Bernhard”, the Nazi plan to destroy Britain’s economy by flooding the country with perfectly produced counterfeit banknotes.
Well worth a watch if you haven’t already.
“The Counterfeiters.” (2007).

The Bank of England is currently asking the UK public for its views on potential themes for the next series of banknotes.

You can vote for up to three of these six themes:

- notable historical figures
- nature
- architecture and landmarks
- arts, culture and sport
- noteworthy milestones
- innovation

I chose "nature". Who wouldn't want to see a hedgehog on a banknote?

Dear #Numismatics friends, I would like you to share a piece you like (#Coins #CoinCollecting #Banknotes #Tokens #Medals #Exonumia) with the #SaturdayNightCoinShow hashtag. To make it easy, it doesn't strictly have to be "Saturday Night" - any time on the weekend or near is fine :)

Here's one I quite like, which I posted roughly a year ago. An N.C.B. Rawdon check from the UK: coinofnote.com/n-c-b-rawdon-ch #History #Histodons #Coal #Coalmining #Rail #Railway

Going off tangent: British money still is weird

Ulster Bank 50 pounds note

Sometimes Britain is really weird. I was writing a post about money in Dungeons and Dragons when I remembered something odd we encountered when visiting Northern Ireland back in the 2000s: Northern Irish Bank notes.

No, not just British paper money, actual bank notes issued by private banks in the constituent part of the United Kingdom that is Northern Ireland. Scottish ones as well.

It turns out they aren’t actually legal tender anywhere in Britain (because legal definitions can be weird), but you can just pay with them in shops. It’s a bit like the Euro gonna-catch-them-all hunt for different coins, as multiple banks have the right to issue currency and do.

Somehow nobody ever had mentioned the existence of seperate paper money in Scotland and Northern Ireland to any of us. And to be fair, it’s not supposed to be seperate. They are equivalent to the Pound Sterling, but better don’t try to pay with them in England. People seem to get really pissy about that when you try. They are supposed to take them, but some places just won’t. (They can’t give them out as change)

Bank of Scotland 20 pounds note

Conversely Scotland and Northern Ireland generally accept each other’s notes.

This is stuff that nobody ever talks about somehow, a regional quirk that flies under the radar most of the times.

Danske Bank 20 pounds

By the way, one of the banks that can issue money in Northern Ireland is Danske Bank, a Danish bank based in Copenhagen. It seems they bought Northern Bank a while ago and retained their right to issue bank notes.

Another one is Bank of Ireland, which is based in Dublin. So two institutions from the EU can issue money in UK. Isn’t that interesting?

And don’t even get me started on the Manx pound, which is issued by the government of the Isle of Man (a crown dependency) and which you might get as change in Belfast. Unlike the money from the other two this one is not supposed to be interchangeable with the British pound. The Isle of Man is as Wikipedia puts it “in a one-sided de facto currency union” with the UK, meaning the pound sterling is legal tender on the island and backing its own notes with it. Some people might accept them, others don’t.

(To be fair it appears banks and post offices anywhere in Britain take them)

The Wikipedia article for the Manx Pound still talks about what will happen when the UK finally adopts the Euro. I think nobody updated this since 2006.

On passing counterfeit notes (1826) - a case in which the convicted party ultimately claimed to have purchased them and the box in which they were concealed in "specie and #Quebec bills" from "a man named Page, in Dunham, Lower Canada [Quebec]." We know that cross-border counterfeiting networks existed, though we know relatively little about them. #money #history #histodons #CdnHist #HistQC #numismatics #banknotes @histodons

The South African Reserve Bank has officially launched the country’s latest print and mint of banknotes and coins. The new South African Rand banknotes have enhanced security features and new designs celebrating South Africa’s heritage, also paying tribute to South Africa’s first democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela, with his portrait retained on the front of the banknotes, while the Big 5 animals are now illustrated as a family on the back The new banknotes have gone into circulation today (4 May 2023) 💸 #SouthAfrica #Rand #BankNotes

Attention all #numismatists! We're looking for people who love #coins, #medals, and #banknotes, and also care about making #numismatics open to everyone for the steering committee for a new and inclusive numismatics conference - contact us here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI

Google DocsInclusive numismatics - call for committee membersWe are a group of people inspired (and slightly obsessed) with the study of, and engagement with numismatics. We are also keen to broaden the field of numismatics and create opportunities for all to engage with coins, banknotes and medals. To this end we have secured funding by the Royal Numismatic Society and the support of the Bank of England to run a conference tentatively to be held in September 2023 in which we will explicitly seek to create a welcoming space, and deliver financial support for voices for all in numismatics. We have an explicitly inclusionary agenda to hear from women, people of colour, those from the LGBTQ+ community and anyone who has a passion for numismatics, but has not necessarily found that existing forums for sharing their study, research or work have been the right place. We are seeking people who want to make the field of numismatics a more inclusive space, and who want to change the field to be part of our steering committee. This is an open call any anyone from any career stage, type of work, or interest in numismatics is welcome to join us. The current steering committee is Jenni Adam, Amelia Dowler, Eleanor Ghey, Megan Gooch, and Clare Rowan. We are seeking up to 5 additional members. Please complete this form by 10 Feb 2023
