I wonder what would happen if somebody tried to pay for a pint with a
Scottish one-pound note.

The barman would probably say they were about £2 short.
Let me rephrase that: What if you tried to pay for your pint using
several Scottish one-pound notes?

He'd probably say "I'm not trained sufficiently to be able to accept
those".
