The British Pound Sterling (GBP) is the official currency of the United Kingdom and one of the world’s most widely recognised and trusted currencies.
Issued by the Bank of England, the modern series includes both paper and polymer notes featuring updated portraits of the monarch, advanced security features, and designs celebrating Britain’s scientific, cultural, and artistic heritage.
The latest polymer notes — durable, secure, and highly resistant to wear — form the primary legal tender used throughout England and Wales today.
Scotland and Northern Ireland also issue their own authorised banknotes, all of which remain fully valid within the UK.
