Nothing at all, you can call it what you want. You can put the queen's head on it, or Sean Connery's if you ****ing want. That misses the point completely.
The issue is not the currency. The issue is the currency union. Recent events in the Eurozone illustrate how difficult it is to have a currency union without political union. So the sterling you use north of the border will not neccessarily have parity with the pound we use south of it.
I thought the eurozone was a political union..?

I actually think the only currency it has out performed is the Erritrean shilling and even that's touch and go
