A friend of mine's son who works in a shop accepted a Jersey tenner today, now the manager has said he is docking it from his pay - can he do this?

.The Bailiwick of Jersey is a British Crown Dependency and issues its own currency which circulates together with British, Scottish and Guernsey currency in Jersey.
Jersey currency is not legal tender outside Jersey, but it is acceptable as tender, as opposed to legal tender, within the United Kingdom, and can be exchanged at UK banks on a one for one basis. |

Jersey banknotes are legal tender in the UK, but that doesn't stop people being ignorant dumbnuts.

The Jersey notes are not legal tender in the United Kingdom but are legal currency, so creditors and traders may accept them if they so choose.
Must be true its says so on Wiki. Signed Julian xx |

11kv is correct. Jersey Banknotes are not "legal tender" and neither are Scottish Banknotes, before or after tomorrow.

11kv is correct again - "so creditors and traders may accept them if they so choose", and this is the point, there is no obligation to accept legal currency.

I'll buy it off them for an (English) fiver, then he only need to deduct a fiver from his pay. We are all winners

Coincidentally the cashier at Starbucks on the M25 was keen to give me a Guernsey fiver in my change the other day. To be fair she did ask and I accepted it. She probably has a manager like your friend's son Mister badger. Didn't matter to me as I would put it in a charity box if I couldn't spend it but it would mean a lot to someone on a basic wage.

I agree, the boss is a ****... he is also a bully. I told the lad to give them a tenner in exchange for the jersey note, which he can then change in a bank... no way should he lose out over this load of bollocks. The chain store he works for is The Range, btw

When we used to go to Jersey to play footie back in the 70s their one pound notes were blue and we used to save them till we went to guernsey and hit the busy nite clubs and pass them off as fivers....didn't work every time but when it did it certainly made for a cheap night
