Scottish Banknotes Worthless

A wad of old Scottish banknotes went on auction in London today. Using a calculator and sophisticated accountancy software package the auctioneers counted about fifty of them. Some of them are over 200 years old and expected to fetch thousands times worth their face value. In total the collection could be worth two new pence. The bloke flogging them off was chuffed with the estimation relaying how the notes had been a family heirloom. "My great grandfather got them when he ran out of chud paper."

But some ponse from a leading auction house or whatever, disputed the claim pointing out that however old the notes are they're still Scottish and therefore technically worthless in this country. A pub landlord echoed the sentiment saying "I don't care if it's new or old, I ain't taking none of that porridge bog paper in my boozer."
