An island in the Irish Sea, part of the UK.
Along with the British pound sterling, there are coins of local minting: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 pence;
1, 2, 5 pounds sterling.
Banknotes in circulation: 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 pounds. Issuing Bank - Government of the Isle of Man.
Pound about. Maine in the United Kingdom (outside the Isle of Man) is not accepted for payment, but only exchanged at face value.
Coins of local minting are striking in variety, rarely when Coins of a certain type
have been produced for many years in a row. Every year Coins of a new design are issued, which are eagerly snapped up by tourists.
Due to their relatively small circulation, it is difficult to get them and they become real "hunting trophies".
