A third of people living in England have rejected Scottish bank notes as fake, a survey found. A total of 33% of the 1,710 people surveyed said they thought the notes were counterfeit. Market research firm Censuswide Scotland showed participants images of notes from the Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank. Just over three quarters (76%) were unable to identify where the currency was from. One in six (16%) believed the notes were now out of circulation and around one in 10 (12%) said they were unsure of the exchange rate between Scotland and England. Nearly a quarter of respondents (23%) would reject the notes.
