The pound sterling (symbol: Â£ ; ISO code: GBP), commonly known simply as the pound, is the official currency of the United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the British Antarctic Territory, and Tristan da Cunha. It is subdivided into 100 pence (singular: penny).s the central bank of the United Kingdom which has been delegated authority by the government, the Bank of England sets the monetary policy for the British pound by controlling the amount of money in circulation.
Anyway there is only one currency in the United Kingdom- the British Pound. Ireland the Republic of course is on the Euro like most of the E U. Wiki about pound Stirling notes. Coins are the same in Northern Ireland and in the rest of UK, so no problems there. Bank of England notes circulate freely in NI. Notes you get from ATMs and in change in NI are mostly local notes printed in NI.
