Jersey's monetary policy is linked to the [[Bank of England]]. The official currency of Jersey is the [[pound sterling]]. Jersey issues its own postage stamps, banknotes (including a £1 note which is not issued in the UK) and coins that circulate alongside all other sterling coinage. Jersey currency is not [[legal tender]] outside Jersey; however it is "acceptable tender" in the UK and can be surrendered at banks in exchange for UK currency.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Department of the Official Report (Hansard), House of Lords |date=6 December 2001 |title=Lords Hansard text for 6 Dec 2001 (211206-28) |url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200102/ldhansrd/vo011206/text/11206-28.htm |access-date=31 May 2011 |publisher=Publications.parliament.uk |archive-date=11 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511091450/http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200102/ldhansrd/vo011206/text/11206-28.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
