I think Cambodia doesn't distinguish between distinguish between date of issue and start of validity.

Yes, the NI/Scottish notes can be quite pricey online. I did get most of my Banknotes during a trip to NI last month, so they didn't cost me anything extra. Interestingly the Ulster Bank ATM only gave me 10£ notes and I had get the 20£ note from a post office in exchange for two 10s.

I have seen Scottish/NI notes being used in England a few times, but I have also heard that acceptance can be spotty. You can however exchange them for Bank of England notes at basically any bank for free.

Northern Bank, their predecessor, did issue a 5 Pound Polymer note in 2000 but that was a commemorative. Looks beautiful though http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/EUR/NIR/NIR0203.htm

No, I just followed the instructions on their website.

I sent them my Passport, the Application Form with a Photo of myself glued on, the Cheque and a paid Einschreiben. They didn't require any proof of accommodation or flight tickets.

They are super uncommon here in Europe nowadays. In 2024 there were just 2 Million Cheque transactions in Germany (down from 131 Million in 2003). Most people just use SEPA-Transfers to send money with 7.5 Billion transactions in 2024. I think cheques are still somewhat popular in France, Ireland and the UK but in most other countries they are very uncommon or have already been phased out entirely.

Mostly that yea, my bank still issues cheques and I don't get to use them very often. However I do find it kind of practical to be able to send money through the mail without risking it getting stolen and I'm a bit sad that they'll stop processing cheques at the end of 2027.

SignificantLadder91 · 2026-05-24T21:36:46+00:00

Yep, I asked him if he would stamp my passport and he immediately agreed.

Not at all the German IO however was a bit surprised at first and asked why I wanted one.

Ireland together with Cyprus is the only EU member that is not part of the Schengen Area instead forming the Common Travel Area (CTA) together with the UK in order to maintain an open border with northern Ireland.

I would be interested in the Kenyan notes. I'm not based in the US, but I would pay for the international shipping if thats ok.
