HC Deb 30 July 1940 vol 363 c1157
50. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Moore

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Jersey copper coinage is recognised as being valid currency in this country or not?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir Kingsley Wood)

No, Sir. The copper coinage of Jersey is not legal tender in the United Kingdom.

Sir T. Moore

May I ask how these refugees from Jersey are to live in this country, since they had only two hours to get away and no time in which to get any kind of money?

Sir K. Wood

Exchange is made through the banks.
