Gibraltar Pounds and Jersey Pounds

In Eurochange we exchange different types of Pounds (Sterling, Scottish and Northern Ireland) and since a few days we can also change in our exchange offices Gibraltar and Jersey Pounds.*

 

 

The Sterling Pound is the official currency of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), the Crown Dependencies (Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey) and some British Overseas Territories (Gibraltar, Malvinas or Santa Elena, among others).

Although the Sterling Pounds are valid in these territories, in some cases they issue and mint their own Pounds. These pounds of each territory have the same value as the Sterling. The only difference is that, while the Sterling Pounds can be used anywhere, their own Pounds are only valid in the place where they are issued, they can’t be used outside.

For example, someone traveling to the Island of Jersey can bring Sterling Pounds. There the traveller will receive notes of Sterling Pounds or Jersey Pounds indistinctly. If after that, the traveller goes to England, he can still use the Sterling Pounds, but not the Jersey ones.

With this extension, in Eurochange you will now be able to exchange Sterling Pounds, Scottish Pounds, Northern Ireland Pounds, Gibraltar Pounds and Jersey Pounds with the same rate and without commissions.

 

* For reasons beyond Eurochange we can’t accept some denominations of Scottish, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar and Jersey Pounds. Contact us to confirm that we can change your notes.
