Manx money - Revvin rich - 31-05-2022
I've got a couple of Manx £5 notes but they are not the latest plastic ones are they still legally tender on the island?
RE: Manx money - captainsparkledotcom - 31-05-2022
That's a good question! I've got a tenner left over from Manx GP 2019!
Also, I was the only taxi driver in the Morecambe & Heysham area that took Manx money!
RE: Manx money - captainsparkledotcom - 31-05-2022
According to my source (i.e. the friends we stop with) they are still paper, so we're OK.
Then he said that their 18 month old seemed to have caught a bug!!!! panic set in 'til he messaged back to say "it's the TT bug"
I nearly had a heart attack!!

Deffo OK Rich, we haven't gone placcy yet just as the Cap advises.
RE: Manx money - RTR - 01-06-2022
I always carried a Manx tenner in the lining of my helmet - just in case.
We retired on lap two of the Sidecar A race in 1993 and pulled in at The Hawthorn pub.
I nipped into the bar and bought two pints. The £8 change is in a plastic wallet that stayed in my leathers inside pocket for the rest of my racing career. It will never be spent.

Hint - I was driving a Molyneux Kawasaki. The first ever Moly chassis and the bike that Dave put on the rostrum the previous year.
PS. How do you insert photos into a reply?
