francypants Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 If Scotland goes independent, they may have to loose the £1 coin. What are your views on this ? Personally I think they should. If they want to be independent let them have their own currency or join the euro ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Collect them all and use the money to build a huge wall keeping them from ever entering again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Scotland should have to use Gaelic as a language if they leave the UK. We should build a big wall like the one in "Game of Thrones". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to be independent let them have their own currency or join the euro ! I'd rather Scotland remained part of the UK but if they were to leave I'd be unhappy if they still had the pound. Alex Salmond said that the pound belongs to Scotland as much as England, so why shouldn't Scotland have the pound? but I dont know about that one because I thought that the pound is the currency of the United Kingdom, so therefore if Scotland were not in the United Kingdom they shouldn't have the pound.

If he's happy to keep the pound but have no say in any UK fiscal matters then he's welcome to it..how the Scots would feel about their independent country's currency being regulated by another country is a different matter..

This was put to him yesterday and his response was that, yes the bank of England is of course in England, but it is independent and so its not the case that the UK government would be controling Scotlands currency, not directly anyway. It was the Scottish Gordon Brown that made the BOE independent wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government give the bank the parameters they want to work to..the BoE is independent only in the way it acheives this...what's Ok for the UK may not be OK for a fledgeling independent Scotland..inflation target for example..who's to say the BoE will always be independent..?

The currency has a picture of the monarch on it. I suppose it would depend whether Scotland expected or wanted Queen Liz to be head of state.
