I've had plenty of shops in England refuse my Scottish banknotes. I take my custom elsewhere on principle even if I then use plastic to pay.

How many of those working in shops in England are going to know the security features of banknotes from various Scottish producers so they can tell genuine from counterfeit?

Here, even with a single currency, some businesses won't accept denominations over $50 (especially from OCONUS travelers)); so, they won't get burned that way. $100 bills are the most widely counterfeited around the world (in CONUS it's the $20 bill).

I read North Korea bought one of the rare printing presses from Switzerland that the US uses.

There's $900 Billion in US hundred dollar bills with half or more out of the country. So it's common to see them and prime target for counterfeiters.
