I picked up a world paper money collection and it has several one
pound British notes. I don't see a date on them but the reverse has
Issac Newton on it. My question is if these are still valid case
money that can be spent in England. My daughter is going there next
summer for school and while I have a pocket full of 1 and 2 pound
coins I'd like to give her these to spend if they are spendable.
They were withdrawn from circulation in 1988. You can still exchange
them for current money by taking them (or sending them at your own risk)
to the Bank of England (see

details).
