American tourists, whilst you're on vacation in Scotland or Northern Ireland, try to hang onto as many of the local Scottish or N.I. banknotes as you can.
Later in your trip, when in London, these can be used to pay the fare in Black Cabs.
One quirky English tradition is that many London taxi drivers are keen collectors of non-Bank of England banknotes - some collections are even said to be handed down from father to son. Another example or two is always a welcome addition for the cabbie's collection. A crisp, new Northern Irish £50 note will be particularly appreciated!
