Banknotes of Northern Ireland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banknotes have been issued for use specifically in Northern Ireland since 1929, which, like Scottish banknotes, are not legal tender but are considered legal currency by the Bank of England, meaning that they circulate normally within Northern Ireland.

The Provincial Bank of Ireland was renamed the Allied Irish Bank in 1982, and then became the First Trust Bank in 1994.
Notes were initially issued in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pounds. Of these denominations, only the 1 pound has ceased to be issued, with the last produced by the Allied Irish Bank in 1984.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK to have issued a plastic banknote. This is the Northern Bank's Year 2000 commemorative £5 banknote, which was printed in Australia.
