The Queen is wearing a crown in the new issue notes, but officially she is the Duke of Normandy. I think this may be a mistake, or a popular myth. ( Fdsdh1 ( talk) 17:09, 11 December 2012 (UTC))
What's not clear here is whether the Jersey pound is legal tender in the UK. LeoO3 03:43, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The article says "The motto round the milled edge of Jersey pound coins is: Insula Caesarea ("Island of Jersey" in Latin)." However, Insula Caesarea means "islands of Caesar" in Latin, and History of Jersey says Jersey got its name from Vikings, and also says "The tradition that the Island was called Caesarea by the Romans appears to have no basis in fact." Can this part be clarified? -- Awiseman 17:25, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
I can't find any other source that backs this claim, and it is at odds with the Tresurer's report stating a 'profit' from increased issues of Jersey pounds (holding an extra £0.10 sterling for each new £1 Jersey issued would result in a 'cost', not a 'profit') 82.152.96.238 15:31, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
The history section says: "The livre tournois had been used as the legal currency in Jersey for centuries... it remained the legal currency in Jersey until 1837.". But then we read "The livre tournois circulated officially alongside British currency in Jersey until 1834..".
1. One of these dates must be wrong, but I don't know which.
2. The phrase "the legal currency" implies that the livre tournais was the only legal currency up until 1834 or 1837 (whichever it is). However, this is contradicted by the statement that it "circulated officially alongside British currency" up until that date (which implies that British currency was legal tender too).
Ideally this needs clarifying but unfortunately I don't have the specialist knowledge to know how to fix it. Maybe someone will!

From the article:
"Both Jersey notes and Bank of England notes are legal tender in Jersey and circulate together, alongside the Guernsey pound and Scottish banknotes."
The mention of Scottish banknotes here seems surprising, given that Scottish notes barely "circulate" even in England. Some further explanation would be useful.

"In 1877, a penny of 1/12 of a shilling was introduced. However, denominations continued to be written as fractions of a shilling, with threepence coins issued in 1957 carrying the denomination "one fourth of a shilling"."
Did it say one fourth? The standard usage in the UK is quarter, rather than fourth...
Is it true that these notes are created not via the fractional reserve banking scheme?-- Namaste@ ? 20:17, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Everyone knows that the queen normally doesn't have a crown on, on the Jersey notes.... but why is there a pig in the hologram, where there would be the Queen as seen otherwise on English notes. This should be added to the main article. Brydustin ( talk) 23:25, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Are there any sources for the division used here? It's surprising that the 20p is listed as rarely used. CMD ( talk) 01:09, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
