Default Welsh money, was: Does London Underground accept Euros anywhere?

Sadly there is no currency valid in Wales that has
the names Wales or Cymru on it!


There are some Welsh-themed pound coins, and one that refers to 'my
country' in Welsh around the edge. And given that this year's issues
include ones with the coats of arms of London and Belfast, I suspect
next year we might see Cardiff (and Edinburgh). But none of these
actually say 'Wales' or 'Cymru', I think.

There was a 1981 25p (crown) coin issued which the word 'Wales' on it,
albeit preceded by 'Prince of', and similarly there is a 1998 £5 coin
with the same chap's name. I believe these are still legal tender.

And then there's the banknotes of the Black Sheep Company of Wales
Limited
