Good videobrbrHowever, as an Englishman, I’m not sure that you realised that BOTH some Scottish AND Northern Irish banks are allowed to print their own UNIQUE banknotes that can also be used throughout the rest of the United KingdombrbrYou don’t mention those notes, which is a wee bit disrespectful, IMHO, to those parts of the UKbrbrAs a Scotsman myself I knew that Northern Ireland had at least ONE unique UK banknote issued by the Bank of UlsterbrbrI now know that there are othersbrbrScotland has 3 distinct banks that issue notes: The Bank of Scotland, The Royal Bank of Scotland and finally The Clydesdale Bank

I got some UK currency from a US bank and the lady who was counting it said, “Their money is pretty but I don’t know who any of these people are!”brThe £20 note had a painter who I’d never heard of, so that’s fair brThe £10 note had Jane Austen in it, but even if you know who Jane Austen is, not knowing what she looked like is fine brBut the £5 is Winston freakin’ Churchill, the most famous Briton, if not in the world, of the 20th century I think he should be recognizable

The US also has 50-cent pieces with John F Kennedy on them They're extremely hard to find because it seems like everyone saves them Everyone I know has a little jar filled with them Last year I saw someone use one to buy something - when I asked if I could trade 2 quarters for it, the cashier shook her head & said she saves them whenever she gets them LOL
Comment from : SgtRocko

the bi metalic £2 only came about in 1997, and before that was a ceremony one that was sold by the mint
Comment from : william Greenhalgh

The problem with UK money is that Great Britain did not want to except money from Scotland etcbrThe other problem is that I can spend a 1 dollar bill from the 1950's and it is still legal tender, where as in the UK if you have money from that long ago you are screwedbrAs far as which is better for people who are blind, we have tools to read the money to us
Comment from : Wheelie Blind

Fascinating video The USA does or did have a fifty-cent piece

Comment from : CrunchyTaco

Poor forgotten 2-dolkar bill 😢
Comment from : Taneli Pirinen

The UK bank notes are different sizes which makes it easier for blind people to know what note they are holding If all the US notes are the same size, how do blind people know what note they have in their hands?

Comment from : jeannette silva

The only thing that struck me as odd about British money is when I watch something set in the Victorian era and someone pulls out some notes they're always this big sheet of paper Why did they make their notes so huge?

The US Mint still prints $200 bills and sometimes a bank will have some If you need a quantity of them, you can go to a bank and ask them to order some I was paid a bonus entirely with $200 bills I had to put them in a briefcase to get them home

Comment from : River McRatt

Did you forget the silver dollar, or did I miss it
Comment from : Lauries life

The American bills pretty much look the same and there is plenty of opportunity for confusion and short changing from dishonest vendors The coins too are all the same colour and just impossible for me to distinguish as I couldn't read the demonination I was happy to switch to my Halifax holiday credit card for the bigger spends
Comment from : Eat the Rich

Although the US minted a 50 cent coin (the half dollar) until 2002, it went out of favor in 1965brbrYou see, prior to 1965, the dime, quarter, and half dollar were all made out of silver Starting in 1965, the dime and quarter switched to a copper-nickel sandwich, but the half dollar switched to a copper-SILVER sandwich Because it still had silver in it, it was valuable enough for people to take it out of circulation, put it in their coin jars, sell it to precious metals dealers, and even melt it down People STOPPED SPENDING the half dollar -- oo people got USED TO not spending the half dollarbrbrWe tried to introduce a plain old copper-nickel sandwich half dollar in 1971, but it was too late Hardly anyone was using the coin anymore Sic transit gloria John F Kennedy!
Comment from : rogermwilcox

You two are such a lovely couple 🥰 As always, thank you much for all you both do
Comment from : Lisa DeBarr

Forgive my ignorance,but are there also 100 cents (or pence) to one pound?
Comment from : Kimberly Patton

The royal mint changed the pound to a 12 sided because of the high amount of forging of the quid It has various security features to prevent fakes
Comment from : 25novemb

We do have 50cent pieces Remember the Kennedy half
Comment from : Pamela Poag

9:30 - Missed the half-dollar coinbrbrCurrent bills in circulation:br$100, $50, $20, $10, $5, $2, $1brThere used to be $500 and $1,000 bills, but those have been discontinued IIRC it had something to do with rampant counterfeitingbrbrCurrent coins:br$1 (100¢), 50¢, 25¢, 10¢, 5¢, 1¢brThere used to be a ½¢ coin, as well, but it was discontinued a long time ago for its low value being unable to facilitate trade That value was somewhat higher than our current dime (10¢)
Comment from : Twentydragon

Why did the British note have "specimen" printed on it?
Comment from : Iron Reed

We have half dollar coin here
Comment from : D Peters

You have the one pound cointhey have tried to convince US to accept that as a coin a few times in the past and we simply refuse to accept them and swap them back for the bill, thus they do have them available, and you do still occasionally get one in change, but you don't get them as a standard transaction because we refuse to do without the bill
Comment from : D Peters

You forgot the 50 cent coin (American)
Comment from : Karen Allmond

Comment from : Derrick Bridges

At one point in US history, there was a shortage of coins so severe that the US actually issued fractional banknotes (coins in bank note form) Those were on smaller sized paper but with similar designs to the dollar bill

Comment from : 6IXCANADA TV

Biggest problem the $2 bill had is no room in the register drawer for it
Comment from : DBADaddy

The £2 used to be a single colour, and the $2 bill is still mass produced
Comment from : Reef Community Worldwide

6:07 We do have an equivalent to that, it’s called the two dollar bill
Comment from : Anthony Minimum

Sorry, but I don't think I can live in a country without a quarter You can keep the nickel and dime They'll nickel and dime you to death
Comment from : Canon Wright

The names of the US coins actually mean something The quarter is called that because it’s worth a quarter of a dollar (1/4) The dime comes from the Latin decima which means one tenth (1/10) The nickel is called that because they used to be made from that metal
Comment from : Doug Bowers
