#1 Mmmm! I recall the notes were the Northern bank's own issue (Each Northern Irish bank issues its own currency). No one in England will take these notes and most english people are convinced they are fakes.

#2 Most of the stolen money consisted of notes issued by N Irish banks, but not all. One or two of those parcels could have been Bank of England issue.

I dunno. The clincher here is the 'most english' part; not all of the rest are necessarily English. Offer them at 2:1 to the right people and many things can happen.
