Countries where you can use the Sterling Pound
The Sterling Pound is one of the oldest and most known and used currencies in the world. It is actually the 4th most used currency in the world. The US dollar is number one, followed by the euro and on 3rd place the Yen in placed just above the pound. We all can picture a pound note in our minds even with recent changes. That is why we are going to tell you a but more about this currency, where can you use it and how at Eurochange you can get them or exchange them to Euros.
The pound, or the “quid” as is used in slang, can be used in many countries. And even if there is different coins and notes designs the value does not change, one pound is one pound no matter where they come from. But don’t be mistaken, we are talking about the sterling pound, since there are many other countries that use pound as their currency but is not the same currency. In Syria, Egypt, Sudan and Lebanon also use pound, but those countries do not use the sterling pound and the value is not the same.
The sterling pound can be used in many countries around the globe. Of course, can be used in the United Kingdom, this means that you can use them in England, Scotland, Wales and Norther Ireland, remember than in Ireland you will need Euros to do your shopping. Within the UK, and even the value is the same, we will be able to see different designs on the notes. There are eight banks allowed to print their own starling pounds: Bank of England (England); Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank (Scotland); and Bank of Ireland, First Trust Bank, Danske Bank and Ulster Bank (Nother Ireland). Don’t be afraid if you get one different note while you are traveling thru the UK, just check that it comes from one of the banks listed above and you will be ok.

Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the British Antarctic Territory, and Tristan da Cunha make the list of places where you can spend your pounds larger. In all those places the official currency is the sterling pound. Some of them are well known, but others are basically deserted territories or colonies.
