What currency does Jersey have?

The currency in Jersey is the Jersey pound, however, the British pound is also widely accepted and used interchangeably on the island. If you’re planning to do a bit of island hopping during your visit, you can also use the Guernsey pound in Jersey. All currencies have the same value, just make sure you change any Jersey or Guernsey pounds before you leave, as these can’t be used as legal tender in the UK.

Jerriaise?

In Jersey we speak English with a faint Jersey accent! As you explore the island, you’ll notice relics of our Norman past such as the French road signs. Jersey also has its own native language – Jerriaise. Although not heard widely spoken, it’s part of our island’s history, and if you look closely, you’ll find traces of it around the island.
