About Isle of Man Pounds Exchange
The Isle of Man Pound (IMP) is the official currency of the Isle of Man, a self-governing Crown dependency in the Irish Sea, issued by the Isle of Man Government and pegged at par with sterling. We accept all denominations of Isle of Man banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Isle of Man Banknotes
Isle of Man banknotes are issued by the Isle of Man Government Treasury and feature distinctive Manx imagery, including the island’s famous triskelion symbol. We accept the full range of denominations in circulation, including notes such as the 10 pound note issued in 2007 and the 20 pound note issued in 2014, as well as every other denomination we receive. Bear in mind that Isle of Man pounds are not legal tender in the UK, so you are unlikely to be able to spend or exchange them at a high street bank once you return home.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older and withdrawn Isle of Man banknotes, including the 50 pound note issued in 1983 and the 1 pound note issued in 1972, along with all other older series notes we receive. Damaged notes are also accepted provided they are at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition. This applies to the full range of older Manx notes, similar to how we handle other Crown dependency currencies such as Guernsey Pounds and Jersey Pounds.
Isle of Man Coins
We also accept Isle of Man coins, including the 50 pence coin first issued in 1997 and the 5 pence coin first issued in 1971, as well as all other Manx coin denominations we receive. Rates for coins are slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but unlike most banks and bureaux de change, we will not turn them away.
