GW Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 interesting note, found some more information on the internet. http://thelewespound.org/what.html The Lewes Pound is a creative yet practical way for local people to make money work for Lewes. The Lewes Pound is essentially a voucher or token that can be traded locally as a complementary currency and used alongside Pounds Sterling. thanks for sharing the photo.

Member Bruce Thornton Posted December 21, 2010 Member Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Interesting, any idea what type of paper it was issued on or if the paper is watermarked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartwheel-migration Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 It is issued on standard banknote paper with a watermark as a security measure, up to now i have 3 different pound notes. There are also £5, £10 and most unusually a £21 note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
