Can you use gibraltar pounds in england

Hi we are going to Gibraltar in September for the day and wondered if the shops take euro's or English pounds also if we buy cigarette's how many can we buy we are on a coach will we go past customs. At any rate any change will be giving in sterling. On a coach on your return to Spain you will go through Spanish customs.

The allowance is cigarettes per person, whether or not you have any more dotted about your person is up to you. Google the list of banks with a presence in Gibraltar- it includes most UK banks and some building societies.

Will just have to use them on next visit or give to someone who is going to Gibraltar for them to use. I have tried to exchange GIP for Sterling at my bank and they refused to do it. I have also tried at the currency exchange at the P. They too refused to accept notes from Gibraltar.

They also informed me that they do not accept currency from the Channel Islands. It would appear that if you are from a British dependency, your money is worthless in mainland U. Probably should point out that Gibraltar isn't in the Channel islands to the person at the post office!

We returned from Gibraltar in September and had leftover Gibraltar pounds. Same problem in Canada with exchanging them so we sent used the website Leftover Currency. It was lost money regardless, so I took a chance. I had the money in my PayPal account within a week and that included mailing from Canada to London, England! Use precise geolocation data.
